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. 103.
