COE: The ECtHR found no violation of Article 8 of the Convention by Sweden for refusing to grant a residence permit after refusal of asylum or to suspend the deportation to Azerbaijan of the first applicant, whose wife had a short life expectancy after being diagnosed with cancer. The court held that the authorities struck a fair balance between the right to private life and the fact that he was considered a threat to public order and security in Sweden, due to serious crimes committed in Azerbaijan between 2010 and 2013 in connection with debt collecting, including torture, bodily harm, kidnapping, extortion and threats.

According to the ECtHR press release of 19 February...

EU: The CJEU interpreted the provisions concerning the concept of safe third country in the recast Asylum Procedures Directive, focusing specifically on the act through which the designation of safe third countries is made, the sources used when determining safe third countries, the connection between the applicant for international protection and the third country, and the judicial review provided by courts in cases applying the concept of safe third country.

The request for a preliminary ruling was made in a case concerning NP, a Syrian national from Aleppo, whose request for international protection was rejected by the Chairperson of the National Refugee Agency in Bulgaria (DAB) on 18 June 2024, with the reasoning that although the applicant did not qualify for refugee status, he was exposed to a real...

COE: The ECtHR found Serbia in violation of Article 3 of the Convention due to the manner in which a group of Afghan applicants were removed from Serbia to Bulgaria and the circumstances surrounding it and on account of Serbia’s failure to examine whether they would have access to an adequate asylum procedure in Bulgaria; the court also found a violation of Article 4 of Protocol No 4, for their collective expulsion in the absence of an individual examination of the asylum application of each individual in the group in a reasonable and objective manner.

According to the press release of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR): “The case concerns the removal of the...

LT: The Supreme Administrative Court rejected the request for non-pecuniary damages lodged by an applicant, while holding that the recognition of a violation of the applicant’s right to asylum and to access the asylum procedure due to a pushback to Belarus was sufficient just satisfaction.

C. P. U. D., a third-country national, claimed that after entering Lithuania unlawfully on 23 October 2023, he had been denied the possibility to apply for asylum, that the State Border Guard Service of the Ministry of the Interior (the Ministry) had pushed him back to Belarus, where he remained between 23 and 26 October 2023, and that his liberty had been unlawfully restricted from 26 October 2023 to 29 November 2023, on the instruction of the Migration Department of the...

CZ: The Supreme Administrative Court ruled that the new inadmissibility ground introduced in September 2025 for applications for temporary protection from beneficiaries of temporary protection in another EU Member State is contrary to EU law; the court also held that the Ministry’s notification to the European Commission of a risk of capacity exhaustion does not allow the Ministry to reject temporary protection applications from those who are or were temporary protection holders in another EU Member State as inadmissible, given that the TPD does not provide for such a legal basis.

D. Ch., a national of Ukraine, applied for temporary protection in Czechia on 9 September 2025, having previously held temporary protection in Romania. The Ministry of the Interior (the...

SK: The Administrative Court in Košice annulled the decision of the Ministry of the Interior denying refugee protection to an Afghan minor, finding that the Ministry disregarded relevant country of origin information on forced recruitment of minors by the Taliban and failed to conduct a prospective assessment.

A.B., a national of Afghanistan, applied for international protection in Slovakia on 10 April 2025 through his legal guardian from the Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family, as he was an unaccompanied minor. He claimed that members of the Taliban had repeatedly taken him to their base in early 2025 and that he had been released after his family appealed to the local council of elders. He stated that Taliban members had come back after he had already...
