Implementation of Children's Pardon Regulation must be adjusted

Details

This morning, lawyer Corrien Ullersma responded to the motion that was adopted by the Member's Council of the Dutch Labor Party (Partij voor de Arbeid) on 8 May 2014. The motion calls for inclusion of children who were in the picture with their municipal government in the Children's Pardon Regulation-scheme. The regulation is currently interpreted in such a way that only children who were known to the central government may receive a residence permit. The Dutch Children's Ombudsman Marc Dullaert, the initiative for a Fair Children's Pardon (Eerlijk Kinderpardon) and a large number of mayors find this unacceptable, and have called for a more flexible approach to the rules.
