Abstract

Abstract: Ecuador s Constitutional Court ruling 212-20-EP/24 analyzes the State s obligations toward unaccompanied children and adolescents in situations of human mobility, based on special protection actions filed by the Ombudsman s Office. The case concerns the Ministry s of Government's refusal to register the entry and exit of Venezuelan adolescents, preventing them from reuniting with their families in Peru. The court found that the judicial authorities violated the right to due process due to the lack of motivation in their decisions, which presented numerous obstacles. One of these was that the identity documents were illegible and it was impossible to identify whether the were the same individuals. They also violated the principles of the best interest of the child, affecting the child's rights to immigration, family reunification, and priority care. The ruling emphasizes that the States must guarantee comprehensive protection and reunification of unaccompanied children, considering their vulnerable situation. The ruling a precedent in defending the right of priority groups in migration contexts.
