Book Description
The Foreign Service has seen a significant change in its deployment abroad. Currently over 800 members of the Foreign and Civil Service are assigned to posts that are designated as high stress or high threat and thus unaccompanied (some allow spouses but not children). A large percentage of these assignments are for one year, which, while generally warranted by a difficult and dangerous environment, results in a lack of continuity and experience at these posts. The Dept. of State has tried to address the challenges posed by staffing such positions, including by offering training, logistical and other administrative support, incentives, physical and mental medical care, and support for families. Contents of this sensitive but unclassified report: Background; Mental Health Support; The Responsibilities of Onward Assignment Posts and Bureaus; Leadership and Stress; Expanding Options for Counseling; Is the Dept. of State Sending the Right People to High Stress Posts?; Leaping Administrative Hurdles; Support for Families; Recognition for Service; Recommendations; Appendix: Questionnaire with Comments. This is a print on demand report.

Reconceptualising Unaccompanied Child Asylum Seekers and the Law
Author: Jennifer L. Whelan
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000688224
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 153
Book Description
Unaccompanied child asylum seekers are amongst the world’s most vulnerable populations, and their numbers are increasing. The intersection of their age, their seeking asylum, and separation from their parents creates a specific and acute triple burden of vulnerability. Their precariousness has long been recognised in international human rights law. Yet, human rights-based responses have been subordinated to progressive global securitisation of irregular migration through interception, interdiction, extraterritorial processing and immigration detention. Such an approach necessitates an urgent paradigm shift in how we comprehend their needs as children, the impact of punitive border control laws on them, and the responsibility of States to these children when they arrive at their borders seeking asylum. This book reconceptualises the relationship between unaccompanied child asylum seekers and States. It proposes a new conceptual framework by applying international human rights law, childhood studies and vulnerability theory scholarship in analysing State obligations to respond to these children. This framework incorporates a robust analysis of the operation and impact of laws on vulnerable populations, a taxonomy for articulating the gravity of any consequent harms and a method to prioritise recommendations for reform. The book then illustrates the framework’s utility using Australia’s treatment of unaccompanied children as a case study. This book illuminates key learnings from human rights law, childhood studies and vulnerability theory and transforms them into a new roadmap for law reform. As such, it will be a valuable practice-based resource for practitioners, non-government organisations, advocates, policymakers and the general public interested in advocating for the rights of vulnerable populations as well as for academics, researchers and students of human rights law, refugee law, childhood studies and vulnerability studies.
