Spain is legally prohibited from summarily returning unaccompanied migrant minors from the North African enclave of Ceuta to Morocco following rulings that enforce domestic and international child protection standards. Legal frameworks, including the European Convention on Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, mandate that Spanish authorities conduct individual administrative assessments for each minor. Consequently, the government is required to provide shelter, legal representation, and care until a thorough evaluation confirms that repatriation is safe and serves the best interest of the child.
- Spanish and international law forbids the collective or automatic expulsion of unaccompanied migrant children.
- Authorities must carry out individualized legal proceedings to assess the specific circumstances and safety of each minor before any return can occur.
- Compliance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child requires that the best interests of the child take precedence in all administrative decisions.
- Unaccompanied minors arriving in Ceuta remain under the legal guardianship and care of Spanish social services throughout the evaluation process.

Who cares about legal. Protect your borders supersedes all laws!!
Laws are irrelevant when you’re being actively colonized and conquered
Spain is refusing sending illegal back!!
So Spain & EU are trafficking minors?
SHOULDN'T MINORS BE RETURNED TO MORROCCAN GOVERNMENT CONSIDERING MORROCCO IS A SAFE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AND SAFE THIRD COUNTRY AS PER THE EU?
well well well
so because Spain cannot send the kids back, it will just separate them from their parents even though Morocco wants them back?
If anyone else finds kids in their house and keeps them in there can be prosecuted for kidnapping. So why is Spain keeping them okay?
I was in a school class with an illegal immigrant “minor”. He told us openly that he was 29 at the time. He did it to not be sent back.
keep in mind the boarder is 3 mins away..
I don't think any of them went back. They will be your neighbors in Sweden, Germany, UK, Italy in a few years.
Great issue, DW, but I wish you had stayed more closely to what's promised in the title: What are really the legal details under which a return of these children is made more complicated. You just briefly touched on this and said it was legally not possible. All the other news channels skip over these details as well. But I think they will become very important going forward as this situation is obviously not sustainable and there will be challenges to this legal framework in the future.
That is ridiculous that a country can't send underaged citizens of a semi democratic country back! The overall unemployment rate in Morocco is at about 9.5% and Spain 9.87%. So WTF?
There is no war in Morocco. So why has Spain no legal rights to send children back to their parents?
Unemployment rate in Morocco 9.5% vs Spain 9.8%!! No war in Morocco. Why can't kids not be reunited with their parents?
WHY WOULD ANY COUNTRY NOT RETURN KIDS TO THEIR FAMILIES? THIS IS NUTS
Please the morrocan government doesn't give a damn about those minors that's why the guards opened the fence for them to cross into ceuta
Not very good policy for Spain
Spain tries to get revenge or what, the minors have no opinion even if they don't want to return. The Moroccan police knows how to dispatch them to their families.
Tens of thousands??
