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...

EU: The CJEU ruled that, when deciding on exclusion from international protection under Article 12(2)(b) of the recast Qualification Directive, Member States must take into account if the applicant already served the sentence; however, this is merely an aspect among others to be considered and it does not, in itself, prevent that applicant from being excluded from refugee status.

K. L., a third country national who crossed the border between Belarus and Lithuania on 17 February 2022, applied for asylum in Lithuania. He claimed that he was illegally convicted three times in his country of origin, because of his political opposition activity and that he had left his country when the law enforcement authorities began questioning other...

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 status is revoked on exclusion ground and return is not possible due to the non-refoulement principle.

30/04/2025

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...

06/05/2025

NL: The District Court of the Hague, seated in Roermond, referred two questions before the CJEU regarding the scope of a judicial review against a detention measure and the possibility for the judge to verify, ex officio, compliance with the principle of non-refoulement and respect of interests provided for under Article 5 of the Return Directive as well as with the EU Charter.
