The US has the world's highest rate of children in detention, including more than 100,000 in immigration-related custody in violation of international law - UN study
Migrants, mainly from Central America, guide their children through the entrance of a World War II-era bomber hanger in Deming, NM, May 22, 2019.
Children should only be detained as a measure of last resort and for the shortest time possible, according to the United Nations Global Study on Children Deprived of Liberty. There was no immediate reaction from US authorities. Novak said US officials had not replied to his questionnaire sent to all countries.
The United States detains an average of 60 out of every 100,000 children in its justice system or immigration-related custody, Nowak said, the world's highest rate, followed by countries such as Bolivia, Botswana and Sri Lanka.
