CCPR/C/132/D/2787/2016Advance unedited version 12. The State party acknowledges that the children were particularly affected by their experiences of war and dangerous escape from Syria (paras 3.5, 4.7). We are therefore facing a particular and increased vulnerability of the children due to their previous flight history from their home country and the persistent hardship they endured from that moment onwards, circumstances the State party does not seem to have fully taken into account to preserve the best interest of the children, now living and being integrated in Denmark for the last six years. 13. Due to all these multiple and cumulative risk factors, which the Committee also seems to acknowledge in its decision (para 11), we would conclude for a violation of the authors’ and their children’s right under article 7 of the Covenant if removed to Bulgaria and therefore would request the State party to guarantee a proper and renewed assessment of the real and personal risks they might face if deported to that country. 16
