At the core of the matter were the criminal charges of a third-country national for the facilitation of unauthorized entry of two minors in the territory of an EU Member State. With this ruling, the Court takes an important step towards the de-criminalization of care for migrant children who are seeking international protection. However, the Grand Chamber’s reasoning offers limited considerations on the relevant links between “actual care”, humanitarian assistance, and migrant children’s rights. This shortcoming may ultimately curb protection standards of migrant children in future cases CC BY-SA 4.0 Borders EU Charter EU Law European Court of Justice Europäischer Gerichtshof | Luxemburg (Stadt) Migration childrens rights family (DE-588)5103273-9 gnd Europäischer Gerichtshof | Luxemburg (Stadt) Max Steinbeis Verfassungsblog gGmbH Verfassungsblog 2366-7044 https://verfassungsblog.de/kinsa-judgment-charter/ raw object
