For compliance with the State of the rights of the child and his family







"Maintaining family unity is an immutable rule"., General, more a right applies to all families, whether or not in a regular situation. "It is therefore not possible to separate children from their parents during placement in administrative detention centre".

Eric Besson, June 2009, response to F.C.

"States parties shall ensure that the child is not separated from his parents against their will, unless the competent authorities decide, subject to judicial review and in accordance with the laws and procedures, that such separation is necessary in the interests of the child."

Convention internationale des droits de l’enfant, article 9Convention of the rights of the child, article 9.







Foreign nationals deprived of the right of residence by ever more restrictive legislation are workers. They are also often fathers and mothers of families, "guilty" to be come to live in France, "guilty" of having founded or reconstituted family, "guilty" want for themselves and their children a better future. These families at risk for many of them, are protected by the solidarity and active mobilization of them.

But when the prefectural authorities facing a father, mother or any family and send them in prisons for aliens for deportation, this administrative confinement ignores the interests of the child, violates the International Convention on rights of the child:

–No child emerges unscathed from its arbitrary confinement of its pullout brutal to the medium in which he lives, her school and her buddies.

–No child escaped major injury, when he saw his father between two police officers handcuffed and treated like a criminal.

–Family eviction is a collective humiliation person recovering, children less than any other.

–Deportation of a father or a mother is an earthquake that kills parents and children every day. One is struck loses both his companion, her children, her work, the life that he has built and finds himself lacks everything filed on the tarmac for an airport where nobody is waiting for him.

–The spouse and the children remained in France, a father or a mother remain without resources, support, at least for months, most often for years, sometimes forever. Who can measure and say their suffering? For many, it is a slow sinking in silence. He must survive, find resources, hoping a return just not take, folded on his shame or so as hope it prefects and Ministers, from forced by desperation and destitution.



The Minister which legitimates the imprisonment of children to the family unit the sovereignly despises whenever it comes to dismember a family by expelling one of both parents, the father more often or sometimes the mother. The freedom it gives parents abandon their children to avoid their confinement is a monstrosity. The placement of juveniles in detention centre their eventual deportation, their upset existence is unbearable. We do not accept

But we ask also be put an end to the tracking of families.

–The maintenance of the family unit must become the rule and no longer serve as a pretext for the detention of children.

–The right to live with family in security and the right to education must be recognized so intangible.

–The breakup of families must be proscribed.

–Parents who were expelled in violation of these principles should be returnees.
