"It is true that, very often, children, because of the illegality of their stay, have no possibility to attend a school and are thus deprived of their chances from the start.
As stated in our communication on a European strategy on the rights of the child, a basis in the Treaties is required for action in a specific policy area to safeguard children’s rights, and in the immigration field no such specific base exists.
However, as regards substance, a common standard already exists – at least a minimum standard – as all Member States are bound by international human rights conventions. In particular, in line with the European Convention on Human Rights, Member States have to grant certain rights regardless of a person’s immigration status, such as emergency medical care or resources to ensure subsistence.
As concerns the Convention on the Rights of the Child, it must be recalled that, besides the specific provisions, it foresees the obligation for the Member States to always take into account the best interests of the child.
At Community level, the Commission proposal for a return directive foresees that, where Member States are subject to obligations derived from international fundamental rights, such as, for example, the right to education or the right to a family unit, no return decision shall be issued."@en1
