Every “i” Dotted and Every “t” Crossed? : Reflections on The Joint General Comments on The Human Rights of Children in The Context of International Migration, and Their Application in The Horn of Africa

were under 20 years of age.2 Safe and regular pathways are critical,

too immune to such tragedies
