Research project 'Durable solutions' for displaced child migrants in Europe Print Share on Facebook Share on X Share on LinkedIn Send by email This project has received funding via the EUI Research Council call 2023. ‘Durable Solutions’ seek to reinstate a child’s rights during and/or after migration/displacement. They comprise: (i) sustainable reintegration (origin country); (ii) local integration (host country); and/or (iii) relocation/resettlement (third country). Central to a durable solution is reasoning about a child's ‘best interests’. The project will address four questions:How does local variation in governance systems shape ‘best interests’?Can ‘best interests’ be reconciled with varying levels of public/political support for different displaced groups?Are proper safeguards evident in reasoning about ‘best interests’?How does reasoning about ‘best interests’ vary within and between states?
