COE: The ECtHR found that the assessment of an asylum application submitted by a Syrian national in Greece complied with the Convention standards, holding that the Greek authorities thoroughly considered the conditions the applicant would face if returned to Türkiye, by reviewing relevant reports on the situation in Türkiye in 2016, in the context of the EU - Türkiye agreement. The court concluded that in 2016 there was no systematic practice of refoulement from Türkiye to Syria. However, the court found Greece in violation of Article 3 for the conditions of detention at a police station in 2016.

According to the court's press release: "Principal facts The applicant, J.B., is a Syrian national who was born in 1965 and lives in Caen...

COE: The ECtHR unanimously dismissed as inadmissible an application submitted by a Tunisian national, finding that he abused the right of individual application by deliberately attempting to mislead the court through the submission of false information in support of his interim request. In addition, the applicant failed to correct the false claim that he was living on the streets in Belgium, despite already being accommodated in the Netherlands as an asylum applicant. The court reiterated the duty of lawyers and applicants to cooperate with it in a loyal and constructive manner, refraining from submitting misleading information.

According to the press...

EU: The CJEU ruled that a requirement for beneficiaries of international protection to have 10 years of residence, unlike nationals of the respective Member State, in order to benefit from a ‘citizen’ income, constitutes indirect discrimination against beneficiaries of international protection; the court held that although the condition is applied in the same way to nationals of the Member State and beneficiaries of international protection, it primarily affects non-nationals and constitutes indirect discrimination against them, which is, in principle, prohibited.

According to the CJEU press release: "A beneficiary of subsidiary protection, who had been lawfully resident in Italy since 2011, was receiving ‘citizens' income', a social benefit coupled with measures for occupational and social integration. The...

IT: The Rome Court of Appeal refused to validate the detention of a Moroccan applicant transferred to the Gjader CPR in Albania after lodging an asylum application during expulsion proceedings, finding that the national provisions implementing the Italy-Albania Protocol, which allowed asylum applicants to remain in Albania pending examination of their applications, were incompatible with the right to remain in the Member State under Article 9 of the recast APD and, prospectively, Article 10 of the APR.

A Moroccan national was issued an expulsion order by the Prefect of Pistoia on 20 January 2020. On 6 April 2026, the Questore of Potenza ordered his detention in the Repatriation...

NL: The District Court of the Hague, seated in Haarlem, referred questions to the CJEU concerning the obligation to conduct a refoulement assessment based on the country of destination indicated in the return decision, where the applicant's nationality and origin from that country have not been established as plausible.

The applicant, a man claiming Eritrean nationality, submitted his first asylum application in the Netherlands in May 2016. That application was rejected on the basis that he had failed to establish his identity and nationality, and a return decision was issued. Subsequent applications in 2017 and 2019 were declared inadmissible. He submitted a fourth application on 9...

BE: The Constitutional Court annulled a new rule which removed access to a financial allowance for first time asylum applicants who cannot be assigned a reception place. The court found that this measure constituted a breach of several rights including the right to human dignity, social assistance, decent housing, private and family life, and exceeded the discretion allowed to Member States by the recast Reception Conditions Directive.

Twenty applications were sent to the Constitutional Court in October 2025, requesting the annulment and suspension of the Law of 14 July 2025 which modified the Law of 15 December 1980 on access to territory, residence, and removal of third country...
