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...

DE: The Regional Administrative Court of Bremen ruled that the Dublin III Regulation remains applicable to pending cases only insofar as the criteria for determining responsibility set out in Articles 7 to 15 are concerned. However, the procedural provisions of the Dublin III Regulation no longer apply to applications lodged before 12 June 2026. The court clarified that transfer deadlines under the AMMR could be extended even where the transfer decision was issued based on the Dublin III Regulation.

The applicant, a national of Somalia, requested international protection on 2 August 2024 after lodging an asylum application in Poland on 7 May 2024. On 6 August 2024, the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) requested the Polish authorities to take back the applicant under the Dublin III Regulation, which they agreed to do. Consequently, on 18 October 2024, BAMF rejected the application for international protection and issued a removal order to Poland. On 6 November 2024,...

A Sudanese national of Fur ethnic background, originating from the Darfur region but who later lived in Khartoum and Port Sudan, left Sudan in November 2024 and, after several months in Russia and Belarus, tried to enter Poland in May 2025 but was pushed back to Belarus. In July 2025, avoiding border controls through the forest, he reached Latvia, where he applied for international protection, citing fear of forced recruitment by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) or the Arab armed group Rapid Support Forces (RSF), which, according to the applicant, had...

SK: SK: The Administrative Court in Bratislava annulled a second time the Ministry’s refusal of subsidiary protection to an applicant from Afghanistan, of the former Afghan government and USAID employee, pointing out that people in Afghanistan are at risk of suffering serious harm (torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment), and observance of the amnesty for former government employees was inconsistent and ad hoc, with extrajudicial executions and documented human rights violations. The court also stated that returns to Afghanistan carried out by some EU Member States do not remove the obligation to conduct an individual assessment of the application, and recalled the decision-making practice of the Ministry, generally granting subsidiary protection to Afghan applicants.

The applicant, a national of Afghanistan, applied for international protection in Slovakia in 2024, after finishing his studies in Slovakia and not being able to extend his residence...
