Unaccompanied Minors and the Blockchain – GDPR: Best Interests of Child Compliance Issue

Abstract

When determining on an asylum application the best interests of the child
must be paramount, as follows by the CRC Committee’s guidance, for all decisions
related to children1. In May 2013, the UN Committee on the Rights of the
Child published General Comment 14 which is associated with the right of the
child to have his/her interests taken as a primary consideration (concept Best Interest
of the Child, BIC). CRC/C/GC/14, along with other considerations, examines
Article 3 CRC as a substantive right, a legal principle, and a rule of procedure.
