COE: The ECtHR ruled that Denmark did not violate Article 8 of the Convention by ordering the expulsion of a Syrian refugee who was sentenced to two years and six months’ imprisonment for 14 offences of money laundering. The court held that after the expiry of the re-entry ban, the applicant could apply for family reunification.

According to the ECtHR's press release, “the applicant, Mr Allabed, is a Syrian national who was born in 1973 and lives in Aarhus (Denmark). Mr Allabed entered Denmark in 2013 and was granted residence as a refugee. By a final Supreme Court judgment of 29 January 2025 he was convicted of, among other offences, money laundering and sentenced to two years and six months' imprisonment. His expulsion from Denmark was ordered with a six-year re-entry ban. Relying on Article 8 (right to respect for private and family...

COE: The ECtHR ruled that there had been a violation of Article 8, taken alone and in conjunction with Article 13 of the ECHR, in a case concerning a Rohingya refugee from Myanmar because the Greek Asylum Service required that the applicant provide the required supporting documents, despite this being impossible due to his and his family's statelessness, and failed for 4 years to decide his application for family reunification. The court found that authorities failed to conduct an individualised assessment of whether the applicant's inability to submit those documents was justified.

A stateless Rohingya of Myanmar obtained refugee status in Greece on 19 April 2019. On 28 August 2019, he submitted a request for family reunification to the Greek Asylum Service (GAS) to reunite with his spouse and two minor children who were residing in...

COE: The ECtHR ruled unanimously that there had been a violation of Article 8, taken alone and in conjunction with Article 13 of the ECHR, in a family reunification case concerning an Afghan refugee due to the Greek authorities’ requirement of document certification by the Greek consular office, which was rendered impossible in practice as the consular office did not issue such certifications owing to the situation in Afghanistan and the Greek authorities’ non-recognition of the Taliban regime. The ECtHR held that the Greek authorities failed to strike a fair balance between the applicant’s interest in family reunification and the interests of the State.

A.D., an Afghan national who obtained refugee status in Greece in 2018, requested family reunification with his spouse and five children, who were residing in Afghanistan. As part of...

PL: The Supreme Administrative Court suspended the execution of a decision withdrawing refugee status, finding that the right to remain under Article 68(2) of the Asylum Procedures Regulation (APR) unequivocally covers proceedings concerning international protection before the Voivodship Administrative Courts.

On 20 September 2024, the Head of the Office for Foreigners issued a decision withdrawing A.S.'s refugee status, whose nationality was not disclosed. The beneficiary appealed to the Refugee Board, which, on 27 August 2025, upheld the withdrawal decision, and subsequently lodged a complaint with the Voivodship Administrative Court in Warsaw. In his complaint before the administrative court, the applicant requested the interim suspension of the challenged decision pending the outcome of the appeal, which was not granted. The applicant filed an interlocutory...

BG: The Supreme Administrative Court, sitting in a five-member panel, rejected a cassation appeal by the Council of Ministers and upheld the previous decision of 19 February 2026 which annulled two provisions of the Council of Ministers’ Decision 278/02.05.2025 on a Program for Humanitarian Support and Integration of Displaced Persons from Ukraine with Temporary Protection. The court found that the contested provisions violated the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and Article 8 of the ECHR because they discriminated against children based on age for access to housing and unjustifiably restricted cohabitation with both parents, thus infringing the best interests of the child.

The State Agency for Refugees under the Council of Ministers lodged a cassation appeal against the ruling of 19 February 2026 in which the Supreme Administrative Court...

PL: The Supreme Administrative Court held that refusals to accept applications for international protection are not administrative acts susceptible to interim suspension, as, unlike return orders, they do not by themselves impose any obligation on the applicants concerned.

Pursuant to Article 33b(1) of the Act on Granting Protection to Foreigners, which provides for a temporary restriction on the right to apply for international protection in cases of instrumentalisation of migration at the Polish-Belarusian border, on 12 November 2025, the Commander of the Warmian-Masurian Branch of the Border Guard in Kętrzyn refused to accept an application for international protection submitted by P.N., whose nationality was not disclosed. The applicant subsequently sought an interim measure before the Voivodeship Administrative Court in Olsztyn, requesting the suspension of...
