COE: The ECtHR dismissed as inadmissible complaints lodged by several applicants alleging 'refoulement by proxy' and extraterritorial jurisdiction of Italy over a rescue operation in the international waters of the central Mediterranean Sea.

According to the Press release of the ECtHR of 12 June 2025: "Principal facts The seventeen applicants (S.S., I.A., A.A., E.E.A., B.C., E.E., S.S.E., A.M.G., D.A.I., J.R., R.J., E.K., V.M., J.O., M.O., E.R.O., S.O.), who...

EU: The CJEU ruled that Article 3 of the recast QD precludes national legislation which provides for the grant of subsidiary protection to a third-country national who, upon removal to the country of origin, would face a real risk of suffering a breach of private life due to the severing of links with the Member State examining the application for international protection.

A.B., a third-country national, arrived in the Czech Republic in July 2006 and his stay was legal until the Czech authorities rejected the extension of his residence permit. He lodged an application for international protection in April 2019, which was rejected in February 2020 by the Ministry of the Interior. By judgment of 17 June 2021 of the Regional Court of...

EU: The CJEU ruled that under Article 31(3)(b) of the recast Asylum Procedures Directive, the 6 months’ time limit for the examination of applications for international protection may be extended by 9 months by the determining authority due to a significant increase in the number of applications, within a short period, and not when there is a gradual increase in applications over an extended period; other circumstances such as a significant backlog of applications or insufficient personnel at the determining authority cannot justify such an extension.

X, a Turkish national, requested international protection in the Netherlands on 10 April 2022. On 21 September 2022, the State Secretary for Justice and Security decided to extend by...

NL: The District Court of the Hague, seated in Roermond, referred one question to the CJEU for preliminary ruling on whether the Minister must issue a return order, with written confirmation of the postponement of its implementation, when protection status is revoked based on an exclusion ground and return is not possible due to the non-refoulement principle.

Case registered before the CJEU under C-202/25 [Tadmur] A Syrian applicant arrived in the Netherlands as a minor and was granted subsidiary protection on 7 January 2016. By decision of 1 February 2022, the applicant was sentenced to...

MT: The First Hall Civil Court found that the treatment of 9 migrants rescued at sea and subsequently held on private vessels whilst the ports were closed during the COVID-19 pandemic, constituted degrading treatment under Article 3 of the ECHR due to the lack of space and poor sleeping and sanitary facilities on board the ships. Furthermore, it found a breach of their right to liberty enshrined in Article 5 of the ECHR due to their detention once brought to land, as the applicants were not given detention orders and informed about the reasons for their detainment.

The First Hall Civil Court heard the case of 32 applicants from different countries who arrived in Malta, with many other people, on small boats from Libya during the months of April,...

DE: The Regional Administrative Court of Ansbach rejected the application for international protection made by a Ukrainian national, finding that the domestic issues with her ex-husband did not meet the threshold of an act of persecution and that she did not meet the requirements for subsidiary protection since internal flight alternatives were available in central and western Ukraine.

A Ukrainian national requested international protection in Germany on 8 March 2023, claiming that she feared returning to and residing in Ukraine. She stated that her apartment had been destroyed during the war and that employment opportunities were no longer available in the country. She further claimed that she experienced domestic violence and issues with her...
