Children’s Charter (Art 19), no child shall be separated from his/her parents unless it is in the best interest of the child. In cases where separation results from the action of a State Party, the State Party shall provide the child, or if appropriate, another member of the family with essential information concerning the whereabouts of the absent member or members of the family.
