Nadeel van de twijfel: Leeftijdsbepaling AMV's en leeftijdsregistratie als meerjarige in EU-lidstaat van eerder verblijf

Authors The Dutch Advisory Committee on Migration Affairs (ACVZ)
Description
Voor de asielprocedure is het van belang om te weten of een asielzoeker minder- of meerderjarig is, omdat de leeftijd bepalend is voor de te volgen procedures en regels. Daarom is het wezenlijk dat het vaststellen van de leeftijd zorgvuldig en volgens internationale standaarden plaatsvindt. Leeftijdsbepaling is complex omdat asielzoekers vaak niet beschikken over identificerende documenten. Het is dan nodig om op een andere manier vast te stellen wat de leeftijd van een asielzoeker is. In de afgelopen jaren is er in toenemende mate aandacht besteed aan het verbeteren van het proces van leeftijdsbepaling in het Nederlandse asielsysteem. De ACVZ vraagt aandacht voor een specifiek aspect van leeftijdsbepaling, namelijk het gewicht dat Nederland toekent aan de registratie van een asielzoeker als meerderjarige in een andere EU-lidstaat. Omdat deze registratie in sommige gevallen zonder nader onderzoek wordt overgenomen, valt niet uit te sluiten dat hierdoor in Nederland minderjarigen ten onrechte als meerderjarig staan geregistreerd. Voor het opstellen van deze signalering heeft de ACVZ, naast het verrichten van deskresearch en jurisprudentieonderzoek, gesprekken gevoerd met relevante spelers in de uitvoeringspraktijk, de advocatuur en maatschappelijke organisaties. Ook is verkennend onderzoek gedaan naar de uitvoeringspraktijk rondom identificatie, leeftijdsbepaling en registratie in Italië en Griekenland, omdat dit landen zijn waar asielzoekers vaak eerder hebben verbleven.

Demand in the context of trafficking in human beings in the domestic work sector in France

Authors Florence LEVY
Description
The fight against trafficking in human beings (THB) is now part of the French political agenda. Yet the priority is given to the fight against sexual exploitation while labour exploitation is still regarded as a minor phenomenon. The particular issue of exploitation in domestic work has not been considered on its own even if France has been condemned twice by the European Court of Human Rights for failing to protect victims in two cases of exploitation in domestic work. Since then, the law has been amended, and we have to wait until we can assess the effectivity of this new legal framework. The issue of demand remains a blind spot in terms of how THB is understood. The public declarations of government’s commitment to the fight against THB provide a contrast with the low number of convictions actually brought down by the courts. The research highlights the difficulties faced by labor inspectorates and legal actors in establishing cases of THB in domestic work. This is linked with the characteristic of this work sector, but also with confusions in the understanding of what is THB, what are the victims and perpetrators profiles and the tensions between the fight against illegal immigration and the mission to protect victims of THB.

Demand in the context of trafficking in human beings in the domestic work sector in Italy

Authors Letizia PALUMBO
Description
While both the topics of domestic work (DW) and trafficking human beings (THB) have received increased attention in scholarship, there is very limited research on the nexus of these two issues in Italy, i.e. on cases of THB in the DW sector. This paper investigates the forms of severe exploitation and THB in DW in Italy and examines the factors affecting the demand-side in this sector. Moreover, it analyses the gaps in current legal and political responses. The paper highlights that domestic workers frequently experience several forms of exploitation and maltreatment, which go from the violation of the fundamental protection provided by the contract to severe abuse and trafficking. The hidden nature of DW renders the identification of cases of THB extremely difficult. The paper reveals that while economic motivations are the main factor influencing the demand for cheap and exploitable workers in DW, other aspects, such as political, legal, social and cultural factors, also play a crucial role in affecting the demand-side. Moreover, this study points out that Italian legal and political responses to THB and severe exploitation have proven inadequate in preventing these phenomena and in protecting the rights of the victims. By highlighting the need to adopt a comprehensive approach to THB, the paper proposes a set of recommendations in regard to political and legal responses, also addressing the demand-side.

TRACKS: Identification of TRafficked Asylum seeKers' Special needs

Description
TRACKS- identification of TRafficked Asylum seeKers’ Special needs is a transnational project that offers to analyze the asylum-trafficking in human beings (THB) nexus through the prism of special needs of trafficked asylum seekers and to equip national asylum authorities and civil society organizations to tackle crosscutting issues (i.e. protection, housing, rehabilitation, psychosocial support as well as security). Indeed, international protection of these asylum seekers might be challenged by their very specific vulnerability. Asylum seekers identified as victims of THB need to benefit from specific social and judicial support and reception conditions, as well as from a procedure that should be adapted to their individual specific situation. These needs have to be addressed to allow them to benefit from an appropriated international protection by EU member States. Very few victims of THB applying for asylum are granted refugee status or subsidiary protection as they have enormous difficulties to express their individual story because they are most of the time under influence, are not always aware of their rights in relation to their specific situation and went through traumatic experiences. Moreover, the asylum application can be used by criminal networks exploiting victims to make sure they legally stay on the territory. The situation of this specific vulnerable group requires a very specific answer that will result from a complementary accompaniment from a range of actors (i.e. regarding social and legal support, health, security issues, etc.).

Asylum seekers, refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPS) in Georgia : the challenges of social cohesion

Authors Natia CHELIDZE
Description
Since the 1990s, Georgia has been facing one of its most severe problems: the resettlement and socioeconomic integration of internally displaced persons from Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region who fled as a result of internal armed conflicts. Over the past few years, the number of IDPs has increased due to the inflow of foreign nationals seeking to obtain either a refugee or a humanitarian status. These numbers have further increased following the obligation assumed by the authorities of Georgia to repatriate the Meskhetian Turks exiled in an organized way from Georgia in 1944. Although the definition of internally displaced persons provided in the legislation of Georgia does not include ecological migrants displaced due to the natural calamities, this explanatory note will also touch upon the issues of resettlement of eco-migrants along with the complex task of resettlement of the Meskhetian Turks and IDPs from Abkhazia and Tskhinvali region as well as the unified state approach to address their problems.
