The principle of the child's best interest is an important principle, both nationally and internationally. According to the Convention on the Rights of the Child it should be taken into account in all decisions concerning children. Another important principle is the right to family reunification. This essay connects the two principles and examines how the principle of the child's best interest is met within family reunification in Sweden.

The material on which the essay is primarily based on is the Swedish Aliens Act (Sw. utlänningslagen) and the Family Reunification Directive . The right to family reunification in the European Union for third country citizens is regulated in the Family Reunification Directive . The essay investigates how the implementation of the directive was like in Sweden and how it affected the Swedish legislation. Furthermore, the essay investigates which children and familymembers that has the right to family reunification, and which actions the legislature has taken to meet the principle of the child's best interest.

According to family reunification directive, the traditional families will be granted residence. Sweden has however in the implementation of the directive chosen a broader definition of family than this. In the essay, I discuss how the child's best interests is met in the Swedish Aliens Act , but I havn't found an easy answer to the question, since the scope of the essay hasn't included examination of how the law is interpreted in practice.
