COE: The ECtHR found that Belgium violated Articles 3 of the Convention due to a breach of their obligation to provide accommodation or decent material conditions to asylum applicants, thus being responsible for the conditions in which the applicants lived for several months, including during winter. The ECtHR also found a violation of Article 6 of the Convention due to the delays of the Belgian authorities to enforce domestic decisions concerning the applicants and interim measures ordered by the Court. Under Article 46 of the Convention, the ECtHR found that the systemic issues identified in Camara v. Belgium persist and emphasised the duty of the national authorities to take adequate measure to end the deficiencies and respect the principle of rule of law.

According to the ECtHR press release of 9 April 2026: “Principal facts The applicants are four individuals...

COE: The ECtHR ruled that Sweden would violate Article 3 of the European Convention if it would deport the applicant to Afghanistan. The court considered that the cumulative effect of the individual circumstances (Hazara ethnicity; area of origin, Mazar-e Sharif, where the Islamic State of Khorasan Province was particularly active; having lived for around 10 years in the host country which exposed him to values of equality between women and men; and behaviour perceived as transgressing religious and moral norms in Afghanistan) and the general human rights situation, assessed with reference to EUAA Country Guidance and Country of Origin Reports, would expose the applicant to a real risk of ill treatment if returned to Afghanistan.

According to the ECtHR press...

EU: The CJEU ruled that a Member State may extend several times and consecutively the time limit for examining applications for international protection if it can show that, despite efforts, it did not have sufficient time to provide the determining authority with appropriate and sufficient means for an adequate and complete processing of a large inflow of applications and, provided that the cumulative duration of successive extensions does not exceed the time necessary to comply with that obligation or the maximum time limit of 21 months from the lodging of the application.

The request for a preliminary ruling was made in proceedings between the State Secretary for Justice and Security in the Netherlands and X, a Syrian national, concerning the failure of the State Secretary to take a decision within the statutory six-month time limit, on the application for international protection lodged by X in the Netherlands on 17 February 2023. X...

NO: The Supreme Court ruled that having other residence permits on other legal basis besides asylum is not an obstacle to receiving asylum in Norway; this was ruled in the case of an Eritrean woman and her child who had a residence permit in Norway based on family reunification with a Norwegian national, but the woman and her child requested asylum claiming a fear of being imprisoned in Eritrea due to refusal of military service.

In 2022, an Eritrean woman and her child received a residence permit in Norway for family reunification with the child's father, who was a Norwegian citizen. In 2023, the woman applied for asylum in Norway for herself and for...

BE: The Council of State suspended the instruction issued by the Ministry of Asylum and Migration, by which Fedasil was instructed to treat as subsequent applications all applications made by beneficiaries of international protection in another Member State and to limit material assistance for these applicants and to inform them that they should return there, citing alternative legal grounds after the Constitutional Court suspended the law that introduced these limitations.

By Law of 14 July 2025, Belgium introduced a limitation of reception for international protection applicants who had obtained protection in another EU Member State. On 26 February...

BE: The Court of First Instance of Antwerp, Family Court Section, annulled the decision of the Antwerp registrar to revoke the Belgian nationality of a child born in Belgium to Palestinian parents recognised as refugees. It held that the child did not possess any other nationality, in light of both the absence of a formal Palestinian nationality framework and the impossibility for refugees to register remotely.

A child born in Belgium to Palestinian parents recognised as refugees was granted Belgian nationality pursuant to Article 10(1) of the Belgian Nationality Code (WBN), which stipulates that a child born in Belgium who has no other nationality is...
