The index also calls out countries whose practices need urgent improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Countries that performed well are Brazil, Ireland, Switzerland, Italy and Spain. Brazil in particular has the relevant treaties, policies and processes in place to protect children\u2019s right to liberty, achieving nearly full marks. NextGen Committee Member, Ms. Mariane Quintao, outlined why Brazil scored so well. \u201cBrazil allows all families with children to live in the community without conditions while protection or migration claims are being assessed. It\u2019s a refreshing approach to migration &#8211; one that we hope we can see more of.\u201d Ms. Quintao knows the cost of children being detained from her own personal experience &#8211; she was detained in the United States at age 17, and deported to Brazil where her mother, father and sister no longer lived.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cBrazil allows all families with children to live in the community without conditions while protection or migration claims are being assessed.

The NextGen Index is released as the Global Compact will soon be entering the implementation phase, where governments are required to report back and work on their promises. \u201cThe NextGen index provides an opportunity to engage governments in a deeper dialogue about child rights and encourage them to act.
