authorities to respond in an appropriate
and timely manner. However, clearly define
the purpose of including a child in the list
or database in relevant legislation in accordance with the principle of legality.
g. Prohibit the sharing and use of children’s personal data for security purposes that was collected for the purposes of
protection, remedy, civil registration, and
access to services for the purposes of
immigration enforcement.
Restricted access
h. Strictly limit access to information including
by clearly delineating mandates and powers
based on publicly available laws, including on
the protection of children.
i.
j.
Ensure that the actions and responses of all
relevant law enforcement agencies and border
authorities, based on a match received from
a watch list or database, follow domestic and
international law including human rights law.
Oversight
k. The collection, procurement, use, sharing and
retention of children’s personal data should
be secured by effective oversight and control
mechanisms. When a child is involved, oversight bodies should also include the agency
that is specifically responsible for the care
and protection of the rights of children. These
oversight bodies must be independent of the
political executive.
Remedial mechanism
l.
If a child believes his or her rights have been
infringed, she or she should be able to bring
the concern to a judicial body to be effectively
remedied or redressed. Such a child should
have access to a legal advocate to support
the child in advocating for his or her rights.
m. In cases involving children, relevant law
enforcement agencies and border authorities
should coordinate with child protection
services at the earliest possible stage.
Provide training for responsible authorities on
relevant provisions for international human
rights and children’s rights, including the
Convention on the Rights of the Child, with
emphasis on the right to privacy, and the right
to be protected from any form of violence,
including
the
harm
connected
to
stigmatization.
