EU: The CJEU interpreted the provisions concerning the concept of safe third country in the recast Asylum Procedures Directive, focusing specifically on the act through which the designation of safe third countries is made, the sources used when determining safe third countries, the connection between the applicant for international protection and the third country, and the judicial review provided by courts in cases applying the concept of safe third country.

The request for a preliminary ruling was made in a case concerning NP, a Syrian national from Aleppo, whose request for international protection was rejected by the Chairperson of the National Refugee Agency in Bulgaria (DAB) on 18 June 2024, with the reasoning that although the applicant did not qualify for refugee status, he was...

COE: The ECtHR found Serbia in violation of Article 3 of the Convention due to the manner in which a group of Afghan applicants were removed from Serbia to Bulgaria and the circumstances surrounding it and on account of Serbia’s failure to examine whether they would have access to an adequate asylum procedure in Bulgaria; the court also found a violation of Article 4 of Protocol No 4, for their collective expulsion in the absence of an individual examination of the asylum application of each individual in the group in a reasonable and objective manner.

According to the press release of the ECtHR: “The case concerns the removal of the applicants to...

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...

BE: The CALL found that the CGRS was lawfully entitled to conduct the personal interview of a Tunisian national by videoconference, adequately addressed the applicant’s procedural and data-protection objections by providing detailed explanations including of the technical and organisational measures ensuring GDPR compliance, and that the applicant failed to substantiate any concrete procedural prejudice resulting from the remote format or from the use of English as an intermediate language.

A Tunisian national entered Belgium in 2022 and requested international protection on 2 April 2025, after the Belgian authorities had attempted to return him to Tunisia on 7 March and 1...

23/10/2025

IE: The High Court upheld the rejection decision concerning a married couple from Georgia, finding that although they faced a risk of serious harm from a police officer to whom the wife had previously been promised in marriage, that threat was driven by personal motives and lacked the nexus to a Convention ground, that the civil marriage excluded a well-founded fear of forced marriage, and that state protection in Georgia was in principle available to them.

N.S. and T.S., a married couple of Georgian nationals, requested international protection on 22 November 2021. They stated that they come from Orthodox Christian families and that their relationship and civil marriage...

19/08/2025

BE: The Council for Alien Law Litigation (CALL) granted refugee status to an LGBTIQ applicant from Burkina Faso, finding her fear of persecution well-founded. The CALL considered credible the risk she faced from both her family and the broader Burkinabé society on account of being part of a particular social group as LGBTIQ in her country of origin.

A national of Burkina Faso requested international protection in Belgium on 3 October 2019, claiming a well-founded fear of persecution by her father, her cousin, her neighbours and the Burkinabé society as a whole on account of her sexual orientation. By decision of 4 July 2023, the Commissioner General for Refugees and...
