Child Protection

UNICEF works in some of the world's toughest places, to reach the world's most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.


Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

For every child, protection

How can you make a difference?

Background

  • Children are on the move throughout Latin America and the Caribbean and UNICEF is working with them in communities of origin, when they are in transit, reach their destination and when they return. One of the significant barriers that these children and their families face is having a legal identity.
The UN Legal Identity Agenda defines legal identity as

"the basic characteristics of an individual's identity, e.g., name, sex, place and date of birth conferred through registration and the issuance of a certificate by an authorized civil registration authority following the occurrence of birth. In the absence of birth registration, legal identity may be conferred by a legally recognized identification authority; this system should be linked to the civil registration system to ensure a holistic approach to legal identity from birth to death. Legal identity is retired by the issuance of a death certificate by the civil registration authority upon registration of death.

In the case of refugees, Member States are primarily responsible for issuing proof of legal identity, including identity papers.

The issuance of proof of legal identity to refugees may also be administered by an internationally recognized and mandated authority.

"


Not knowing a person's age impacts on their ability to access rights that are related to age such as preventing child labour, trafficking, illegal adoption and child marriage.

It can ensure respect of the minimum age of criminal responsibility.

Importantly it can prevent statelessness as a legal document that indicates both the parents as well as the place of birth.

lack of identity also affects future generations as documents of parents are often required for the documents of their children.

This includes marriage registration that assists also in the birth registration of children. As well as legitimation and recognition so that the father is identified.


While the majority of children under 5 in Latin America and the Caribbean have been registered and have identity documents, within the group of children not registered are those on the move.

The lack of this identity inhibits their access to health care and education.

Further there are demands not only for identity documents but for a regular migration status to be able to fully benefit from services.

For example, while in some countries a child can go to school, they may not be able to obtain a school leaving certificate without an indication of a regular migration status.

This regular status can vary from having obtained the citizenship of the country or having a temporary protective status. Birth registration has the data necessary to determine place of birth and parentage which can
- support determining nationality and ending statelessness. The registration of vital events of family members also impacts on children, in particular marriage registration.

  • Understanding the access migrants and refugees have to civil registration and its connection to status regularisation will inform policies and programmes to sustainably reduce a main barrier to migrant children's access to their rights.

Purpose of the Assignment

  • The purpose of this assignment is to examine the access of migrants and refugees to civil registration in many of the countries in the region and to identify how civil registration documents are used to regularise a migrant's status. The document will be used by UNICEF and other stakeholders within the region and globally to inform policy and programme directions. The audience will predominantly be child protection, civil registration and migration professionals.
It will answer

- can migrants and refugees register in the civil registration system in the country where the vital event (birth, marriage, divorce, death) occurred. What are the requirements?

- what are the time periods/expiry for temporary protective status where it exists?

- what services (health, education, child protection, social protection) require civil registration or regularisation for migrants and refugees to be able to fully access them?


The study will cover countries which have extensive migrant and refugee populations as well as countries who are members of the Latin American and the Caribbean Council of Civil Registries and Vital Statistics (CLARCIEV, Consejo Latinoamericano y de Caribe de registro civil, identidad y estadísticas vitales).
