Considering UN Rights of the Child - zambrano

The request was refused by UK Border Agency.

Dear UK Border Agency,

Perhaps (well, no, I am actually pretty sure that) the following should also be taken into consideration, when UKBA consider Zambrano...

The United Nations Declaration of the Rights of the Child
http://www.un.org/cyberschoolbus/humanri...

Specifically Article's 1 and 6.

In addition to the specific statement: "to the end that he may have a happy childhood ". (We all know children prosper with both parents present.

6. The child, for the full and harmonious development of his personality, needs love and understanding. He shall, wherever possible, grow up in the care and under the responsibility of his parents, and, in any case, in an atmosphere of affection and of moral and material security; a child of tender years shall not, save in exceptional circumstances, be separated from his mother. Society and the public authorities shall have the duty to extend particular care to children without a family and to those without adequate means of support. Payment of State and other assistance towards the maintenance of children of large families is desirable.

Arcticle 24 (of charter of fundamental rights of EU)

Rights of a Child - Reads as follows:

2. In all actions relating to children, wheather taken by public or private instistions,the child's best interest must be a primary consideration.

3. Every child shall have the right to maintain a personal
relationship on a regular basis and a direct contact with both his or her both parents, unless that is in contrast to his or her best interests.

I note that the UKBA should take into account the information above when considering ALL Zambrano cases involving children.

Now, I ask the following: considering that EU Law and UN treaties states the above, how many complaints have been raised in relation to removal procedures imposed on the parent of a british child?

Please supply all information on the complaints, and any details of cases which have been taken to the ecj in relation to the above.

Yours faithfully,

Wayne Pearsall

As evidenced in all of my previous Internal Review requests / complaints to the ICO...
