Yulia Ioffe's article in the International Journal of Refugee Law examines the application of Article 9 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child to children seeking international protection. Relying on the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, it argues that Article 9 imposes a positive obligation on States to provide entry for the purpose of preserving family unity, and supports a child-centred approach with a presumption against family separation.
