Özet:

 The legal representation of unaccompanied minors who are not being cared for by their parents or any other adult stands out as one of the main global problems. These children are under no ones custody and need representatives who will represent them in all legal proceedings, especially during the asylum process, who will take primary responsibility for their shelter, education, and development, and who will ensure that decisions regarding the child are applied in accordance with the childs best interests. In line with states obligations arising from the Convention on the Rights of the Child, they are responsible for resolving the legal representation of unaccompanied children either by helping children adapt to the current national legislation or by enacting new regulations specific to unaccompanied minors. The legal representation of unaccompanied minors, whose number is also increasing in Türkiye, is mainly carried out within the framework of the Turkish Civil Code and the Child Protection Law. This study will examine the legal representation of unaccompanied minors in Türkiye through examples given from current legislation and practice, including those in selected European countries, and will present recommended solutions.

 Ebeveynlerinin ya da diğer herhangi bir yetişkinin sorumluluğunda olmayan refakatsiz çocukların hukukî temsili, tüm dünyada küresel bir problem olarak başat rolde öne çıkmaktadır. Velâyet altında olmayan bu çocukların başta sığınma sürecine dair işlemleri olmak üzere, onu tüm yasal işlemlerinde temsil edecek, barınması, eğitimi ve gelişiminden öncelikli sorumlu olacak, çocuğa dair kararlarda çocuğun üstün yararına göre hareket edilmesini sağlayacak temsilcilere ihtiyacı vardır. Ülkeler, Birleşmiş Milletler Çocuk Haklarına Dair Sözleşmeden doğan yükümlülüklerine paralel olarak refakatsiz çocukların hukukî temsilini ya kendi ulusal düzenlemelerine uyarlayarak ya da onlara özel yeni düzenlemeler yaparak tanzim etmeyi tercih etmektedir. Türkiyede de sayıları giderek artan refakatsiz çocukların hukukî temsilinde esas itibarıyla Türk Medenî Kanunu ve Çocuk Koruma Kanunu hükümleri uygulanmaktadır. İşbu çalışmada Türkiyedeki refakatsiz çocukların hukukî temsili, mevzuat ve uygulamadan verilen örnekler üzerinden, seçilmiş Avrupa ülkelerindeki uygulamalara da yer verilerek incelenecek ve çözüm önerileri sunulacaktır.
