Overview
- The Supreme Court’s Contencioso-Administrativo chamber requires joint reports every 15 days on progress for 827 identified unaccompanied minors.
- The reporting mandate extends oversight to both administrations after they agreed to enroll these children in the national Humanitarian and International Protection Reception System.
- Discrepancies between Canary and Interior Ministry databases have left 367 of roughly 1,200 initial cases unregistered and awaiting data reconciliation.
- In early June, the court found “clear non-compliance” with its March order and warned of fines or criminal measures if the government failed to act.
- Ongoing biweekly updates aim to ensure authorities allocate adequate resources and expedite asylum evaluations to uphold the rights of these young migrants.
