97. 根据《儿童权利公约》第三十七条，拘留无人陪伴移民儿童是严重侵犯人权的行为。但比利时等国有一项例外：儿童抵达边境后，如对他或她的年龄有疑问，则可拘留三个工作日(在特殊情况下可延长三个工作日)。一旦儿童被确定为未成年人，必须在 24 小时内将他或她转移到观察和情况介绍中心。
97. As stated in article 37 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the detention of unaccompanied migrant children is a serious human rights violation, although there is one exception in some countries such as Belgium: if a child arrives at the border, and there is a doubt about his or her age, he or she can be held in detention for three working days (extendable for another three working days in exceptional cases). Once the child’s minority has been proved, he or she has to be transferred to an observation and orientation centre within 24 hours.
