Norway (47th Session)

ADF International is a faith-based legal advocacy organization that protects fundamental freedoms and promotes the inherent dignity of all people.

This report acknowledges the positive trend of fewer children being placed in alternative care, which prevents their separation from families, and commends the legislative progress made in this regard. Nevertheless, it expresses serious concern over Norway’s ongoing practice of unjustifiably separating children from their parents, a process that hinders efforts towards family reunification and disproportionately impacts migrant families.
