UN News Centre (United Nations) – In a new study, UNICEF and the UN Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean called on Latin American nations to adopt policies designed to protect vulnerable migrant children from child traffickers. The agencies found that children are vulnerable when traveling with parents or when left with relatives while parents migrate. Since many Latin child migrants are illegal aliens, their rights to legal and social aid become limited. The agencies called on nations to avoid detention of child migrants and ensuring child rights to aid through new legislation.
