    On 2 February 2022, the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers took note of the Guide on family-based care for unaccompanied and separated children developed by the Steering Committee for Human Rights. When a large number of unaccompanied and separated children arrive in Europe after undergoing extremely difficult and potentially traumatic journeys, they may also have experienced serious trauma prior to leaving their country of origin. While they have an unquestionable right to protection, a number of unaccompanied and separated children remain in difficult conditions after their arrival in Council of Europe member States. The reasons are varied but include the lack of appropriate accommodation and limited access to child-friendly services. The new Council of Europe Guide aims at clarifying key international standards and practical aspects in this field, thereby supporting Council of Europe member States in meeting their international commitments vis-Ă -vis unaccompanied and separated children. This document focuses on unaccompanied and separated children in the context of migration, from the moment of arrival on the territory of Council of Europe member states and until a durable solution is found. The guide highlights key aspects for Council of Europe member States to consider when developing and implementing family-based care for unaccompanied and separated children in the context of migration

    <p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Traditionally, the essential oil of aromatic herbs is obtained using hydrodistillation (HD). Because the emitted volatile fraction plays a fundamental role in a plant's life, various novel techniques have been developed for its extraction from plants. Among these, headspace solid phase microextraction (HS-SPME) can be used to obtain a rapid fingerprint of a plant's headspace. <it>Daucus crinitus </it>Desf. is a wild plant that grows along the west coast of Algeria. Only a single study has dealt with the chemical composition of the aerial part oils of Algerian <it>D. crinitus</it>, in which isochavicol isobutyrate (39.0%), octyl acetate (12.3%), and ÎČ-caryophyllene (5.4%) were identified. Using GC-RI and GC-MS analysis, the essential oils and the volatiles extracted from separated organs of <it>D. crinitus </it>Desf. were studied using HS-SPME.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>GC-RI and GC-MS analysis identified 72 and 79 components in oils extracted using HD and in the volatile fractions extracted using SPME, respectively. Two types of essential oils were produced by the plant: the root oils had aliphatic compounds as the main component (87.0%-90.1%), and the aerial part oils had phenylpropanoids as the main component (43.1%-88.6%). HS-SPME analysis showed a more precise distribution of compounds in the organs studied: oxygenated aliphatic compounds were well represented in the roots (44.3%-84.0%), hydrocarbon aliphatic compounds were in the leaves and stems (22.2%-87.9%), and phenylpropanoids were in the flowers and umbels (47.9%-64.2%). Moreover, HS-SPME allowed the occurrence of isochavicol (29.6 - 34.7%) as main component in <it>D. crinitus </it>leaves, but it was not detected in the oils, probably because of its solubility in water.</p> <p>Conclusions</p> <p>This study demonstrates that HD and HS-SPME modes could be complimentary extraction techniques in order to obtain the complete characterization of plant volatiles.</p
