ABSTRACT
The present chapter addresses the legal approach granted by the EU to unaccompanied minors, being this category integrated by the “third-country nationals below the age of eighteen, who arrive on the territory of the Member States unaccompanied by an adult responsible for them whether by law or custom, and for as long as they are not effectively in the care of such a person”, and by those “who are left unaccompanied after they have entered the territory of the Member States.”1
