Résumé anglais In what way is the situation of minors arriving in Switzerland without their parents “constructed” by the legislation ? What are the possible effects of this construction on the course of their lives ? A tension exists between two different principles in contemporary society and they can find themselves in opposition. On the one hand there is the universal concern for the protection of children, given definition by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC). On the other hand, the management of international migration is delegated to states which define who may enter and reside within the borders they control, according to their own criteria. Unaccompanied minors are a sign of this contradiction.
