Summary:

Elaborated in partnership with the office in Mexico of UNICEF, the Protocol is a tool that includes a questionnaire, guidelines for consular interviews and a safe personal data capture system that strengthens capacities of consular staff.
The Protocol helps to provide comprehensive attention, bearing in mind the situation of each minor individual, in order to assess his/her interest, identify situations of risk and activate the inter-institutional protection chain that guarantees the safeguard of his/her rights.
These protection services for the Mexicans living abroad aim at providing consular assistance, ensure the respect of the human rights of migrants, avoid unfair and arbitrary behavior from foreign authorities, and avoid persecution and discrimination.
