COE: The ECtHR found Italy in violation of Article 5 of the ECHR for the detention of an unaccompanied minor in the absence of a clear and accessible legal basis for a period of 2 months and a half. However, it did not find a violation of Article 3 of the Convention because the alleged poor conditions did not reach the threshold of severity required to constitute inhuman or degrading treatment.
B.C., an unaccompanied minor, arrived in Italy on 3 August 2023 where he applied for international protection and was initially placed in the Reception Centre (Centro di Accoglienza Straordinaria – C.A.S.) in Carovigno, Brindisi.

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.

It held that this exclusion ground should apply to applicants who are highly socially maladjusted, radicalised, or systematically engaged in activities whose nature disrupts the proper functioning of the state and undermines the fundamental social order.
A Ukrainian national submitted an application for international protection on 14 November 2023. By decision of 7 May 2024, the Head of the Office for Foreigners refused to grant him refugee status and subsidiary protection. The authority found that the applicant had not established a well-founded fear of persecution in Ukraine. It nevertheless considered that, if returned, he would face a serious and individual threat to his life or health arising from widespread violence against the civilian population in the context of the international armed conflict in Ukraine, and that he could not relocate to another part of the country. However, the authority considered that the applicant was excluded from subsidiary protection because he...
