UNICEF has raised alarms regarding a proposal in the Swiss Parliament that would prohibit persons with temporary protection status from reuniting with their families. The organization argues this could violate the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, emphasizing the detrimental effects on children waiting years to see their parents. The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) advocates for this ban, asserting that individuals whose asylum claims are rejected should not be allowed family reunification, despite existing legal principles that recognize every child’s right to family.
