COE: The ECtHR dismissed as inadmissible, for non-exhaustion of domestic remedies, the complaints raised by a Syrian national against Sweden under Articles 3 and 8 of the European Convention (risk upon return and right to family life); the court held that he should have lodged an application for re-examination with the domestic authorities, as the fall of the Assad regime, which took place after he had lodged the application before the ECtHR and after the case was communicated to the Government, could be effectively examined by the domestic authorities in a procedure which has automatic suspensive effect.

H.M., a Syrian national, lodged an application for international protection in Sweden in 2019, claiming that he had been imprisoned in Syria because of his opposition to the Assad regime, that he was of interest to the Syrian authorities and that...

EU: The CJEU ruled that, where an appeal against a transfer decision has suspensive effect, the six-month transfer time limit under Article 29(1) of the Dublin III Regulation begins to run only from the date of the final judicial decision ruling on the substantive legality of the transfer.

H, an Afghan national, applied for international protection in Denmark on 25 April 2021. A Eurodac search revealed that he had already applied for asylum in Romania on 5 March 2021. Romania accepted a take back request on 7 July 2021. On 19 July 2021, the applicant appealed before the Refugee Appeals Board the decision to transfer him to Romania. The appeal held suspensive effect. Following a decision by the Romanian authorities to suspend all inbound Dublin transfers due to the large influx of refugees to Romania, as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine,...

EU: The CJEU ruled that Article 23(1) read jointly with Article 46 of the recast Asylum Procedures Directive (APD) and Article 47 of the EU Charter must be interpreted as meaning that the national court ruling on the lawfulness of a negative decision against a third country national must have access to the information on the way an investigation in the country of origin of that country national was conducted with the scope of determining protection needs. Such information is covered by the concept of ‘information in the applicant’s file’ provided that it is relevant for the court’s assessment of national authorities' compliance with the principle of non-refoulement.

The case concerns a request for preliminary ruling submitted by the District Court of the Hague seated in Roermond...

BE: The Council for the Aliens Law Litigation (CALL) granted refugee status to an Ethiopian national, of Tigray ethnicity, affirming, in view of updated country of origin information, that the applicant presented a risk profile considering his previous arrests, his declaration of being suspected of war involvement and the targeting of Tigray in Addis Abeba.

The Commissioner for Refugees and Stateless Persons (CGRS) rejected by decision of 24 August 2023 the request for international protection submitted by an Ethiopian national of Tigray ethnicity. The appeal lodged by the applicant was allowed by the Council of the Aliens Law Litigation (CALL) by ruling of 29 April 2024 on grounds that the CGRS insufficiently assessed...

21/08/2025

BE: The Council of the Aliens Law Litigation (CALL) upheld the negative decisions concerning two Congolese applicants, finding that their allegations of risks due to forced marriage of their daughters according to the Yansi tradition were contradictory, inconsistent and not credible. The CALL noted that the Commissioner for Refugees and Stateless Persons (CGRS) fulfilled its obligation to request information from the Greek authorities, in line with the CJEU judgment in QY, since the applicants were previously granted protection in Greece.

X. and X., Congolese applicants, beneficiaries of international protection in Greece, appealed against the rejection of their asylum applications in Belgium, arguing that the living...

DE: The Constitutional Court ruled that, in a situation where the ‘Bridging List’ program for admission in Germany of Afghans from the justice sector was suspended, pending the new federal admission program, an Afghan family demonstrated an urgent and substantive interest in having a decision on their pending visa applications, as they were facing an increased risk of being deported to Afghanistan.

An Afghan national, a former judge of the Supreme Court in Afghanistan before the Taliban took power, and his family, currently in Pakistan, were included in December 2022 in the “Bridging list” programme by the Federal Ministry of the Interior (BMI). This programme included the declaration of admissions pursuant to Section...
