Resolution number
14
Whereas
- Detention is a recourse of last resort;
- Detention of minors must be an exceptional measure;
- The best interests of the child must be taken into consideration by the government and its tribunals;
Therefore be it resolved
That the CCR recommend that, when a person who alleges to be a minor is detained for reasons of identity, they must be presumed to be a minor, until otherwise established.
