A European court orders France to pay $17,000 to an Afghan child who lived unrprotected for six months in the so-called 'Jungle' migrant camp of Calais
Outside view of the European Court of Human Rights on December 16, 2010 in Strasbourg, eastern France.
Thursday's decision is limited to the case of Jamil Khan, who spent six months in the squalid camp, one of scores of unaccompanied minors there.The Strasbourg court said that it wasn't convinced the French government did all it could to care for and protect the child, as a court had ordered after a lawyers' group filed a complaint on his behalf.
The decision comes amid controversy over a new French database on young migrants who claim to be children.
