This document elaborates UNHCR’s position in relation to the voluntary return to Ukraine of refugee children without parental care, including unaccompanied children and children evacuated from care institutions in Ukraine. It sets out protection safeguards to be followed when assisting refugee children who wish to voluntarily return to Ukraine. The position is based on the recognition that it is the primary responsibility of the country of asylum to protect the rights of refugee children within its territory. In the context of the Ukraine situation, the Ukrainian authorities can have an important role to play in providing information on the situation and services available in the area of return and the care arrangements for each child, as part of a broader assessment by the competent authorities in the country of asylum.
