To recognize the main actors of human rights and policies for the protection of unaccompanied minors through international guidelines and instruments 4.

To explain the interconnection of national and international policies in the globalized environment for the rights of people on the move (immigrants - refugees)

The purpose of the course is to present population movements in the modern world through the examination of refugee and immigration flows at regional and global level. In particular, the presence of a large number of teenagers in mobile populations is examined, many of whom are unaccompanied and move away voluntarily or involuntarily from their homes. The issue of unaccompanied minors and their need for protection has particularly concerned the international community with a series of actions aimed at creating a safety net. Both theoretically and practically, in the field of action, protocols and policies aimed at supporting minors on the move have been adopted. The course analyzes the specific provisions of international declarations and conventions on the fundamental rights of vulnerable groups such as children, women and refugees in general (International Convention on the Rights of the Child, Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, Convention of 1951 on the status of refugees). In the practical field, the policies applied to the health support of vulnerable groups, such as minors, in primary care, psychosocial support and their legal coverage are examined. The participation of students is sought and is part of the course.
