UN: The UN Committee on Social, Economic, and Cultural Rights adopted an interim measure in a case where a Syrian national complained against Germany's suspension of his access to basic material reception conditions pending the implementation of a decision on a Dublin transfer to Malta.

The UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) adopted an interim measure in the context of an individual complaint (No 384/2025) submitted by a Syrian national against Germany in proceedings contesting the suspension of material reception conditions during the period to implement a decision on a Dublin transfer to Malta. The UN CESCR instructed the German Government to immediately provide the applicant with access to basic...

EU: The CJEU interpreted Article 15 (1) of the recast Reception Conditions Directive as meaning that, for the existence of a delay attributable to an applicant, national authorities must establish a causal link between the applicant’s conduct and the delay incurred, with the result that the applicant can be held liable only for the delays caused by his or her own actions. The court also clarified that, for partial delays attributable to the conduct of an applicant, national authorities must determine the fraction of the time interval corresponding to the share of responsibility attributable to the applicant as basis for refusal to be granted permission to access the labour market.

The case concerns a request for a preliminary ruling submitted by the Irish Supreme Court before the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) on interpretation of Article 15 (1) of...

COE: The ECtHR ruled that the granting of asylum for a father and as a derived right to his children did not prevent the return of the children to Russia in order to implement a decision under the Hague Convention, since it was assessed that the return to Russia was in the children's best interests.

According to the ECtHR legal summary: "The applicants are a father and his two children (born in 2011 and 2013 respectively). They all used to live in Russia. In 2022 the first applicant took his children to Finland without their mother’s consent. After arriving in Finland, he applied for asylum on his own behalf and on behalf of the children. The children’s mother instituted proceedings for their return under the Hague Convention on the Civil Aspects of International Child...

BE: The Council of State upheld an inadmissibility decision concerning a Somali national who had already been granted international protection in Cyprus, finding that he had received state support there and that, despite his blindness and mental health concerns, he had not demonstrated that return to Cyprus would expose him to extreme material deprivation or conditions incompatible with human dignity.

A Somali national was granted international protection in Cyprus and subsequently entered Belgium, where he lodged a new application for international protection. The Commissioner General for Refugees and Stateless Persons (CGRS) declared the application inadmissible. The applicant appealed to the Council for Alien Law Litigation (CALL) arguing...

DE: The Regional Administrative Court of Berlin ruled that, although the question of whether Germany extended the eligible categories for temporary protection to third country nationals, other than Ukrainians, by applying Article 7 of the Temporary Protection Directive, a national of Turkmenistan who did not prove that he cannot return safely and permanently to his country of origin, could not derive a right to a residence permit under Section 24 (1) of the Residence Act.

A national of Turkmenistan requested the suspensive effect of the decision of the Federal Office for Migration and Asylum (BAMF) rejecting his request for being granted a residence permit based on temporary protection on 12 March 2025. The Regional Administrative Court of Berlin...

BE: The Council for Alien Law Litigation (CALL) confirmed an inadmissibility decision, holding that the principle of diligence in the assessment of the application was not breached due to the involvement of an EUAA case officer in the personal interview, as part of the EUAA operational support to Belgium. It found also that the applicant failed to demonstrate deficiencies in Greece that would amount to a particularly high threshold of severity, affirming too that his short stay and inaction led to the conclusion that he had no intention to assert his rights there.

X, of Palestinian origin, from Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip, lodged an application for international protection in Belgium on 3 April 2024. The Commissioner General for Refugees and...
