2026 is published by the Greek Council for Refugees (GCR) and Save the Children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Children arriving in Greece face not only dangerous journeys, but also a new legal framework that risks weakening the safeguards they need most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brief examines Greece's national legislation implementing the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum and highlights significant concerns for children and families:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A two-tier system for unaccompanied children\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cSafe zones\u201d risk becoming de facto child detention by another name\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Children pending age assessment may be pushed into border procedures\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Weak independent monitoring risks leaving safeguards on paper\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These developments risk undermining progress made in strengthening the protection system for children, including unaccompanied children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Greece and the EU must:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ensure Pact implementation strengthens, not weakens, child protection safeguards\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Protect unaccompanied children from detention,
