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...

EU: The CJEU ruled that in joint return operations, Frontex has the obligation to verify that return decisions exist for all persons whom a Member State intends to include in such an operation and any infringements of fundamental rights occurring during a return flight may give rise to the liability of the Member State concerned and that of Frontex; thus, the court set aside the judgment of the General Court which had dismissed the action for damages brought by a Syrian family after their transfer from Greece to Türkiye.

According to the press release of the CJEU of 18 December 2025: "On 9 October 2016, a family of...

EU: The CJEU ruled that an applicant’s refusal to be transferred to another reception centre cannot justify withdrawing all material reception conditions or depriving the applicant of the possibility of meeting the most basic needs; however, national authorities may impose a proportionate sanction that respects the applicant’s fundamental rights and dignity, and use their powers of coercion to enforce the transfer.

According to the press release of the CJEU of 18 December 2025: "AF and his child, BF, who was a minor at the time of the facts, are applicants for international protection residing in an accommodation centre...

HR: The Administrative Court in Zagreb dismissed the appeal of a Russian national claiming persecution following draft evasion from the war in Ukraine, finding that his military summons was inconsistent with country of origin information (COI), as it predated mobilisation but was delivered after mobilisation had already ended, and that his lawful departure from Russia demonstrated that he did not face a well‑founded fear of persecution or a real risk of serious harm.

Ž.G., a Russian national, requested international protection in Croatia on 6 February 2024, claiming that he left the Russia because of compulsory mobilisation linked to the conflict in Ukraine. He claimed that in January 2023, while he was out for a walk, a draft notice...

22/07/2025

HR: The Administrative Court in Zagreb dismissed the appeal of a Syrian national from Aleppo, confirming that his reasons for leaving were linked solely to past war conditions, that he alleged no persecution on Convention grounds, and that EUAA COI showing improved security in parts of Syria and the absence of negative consequences for his brother’s refusal of mobilisation excluded refugee status and subsidiary protection under Articles 20 and 21 of the Act on International and Temporary Protection.

A Syrian national born in Aleppo, currently residing in the Reception Center for International Protection Applicants in Zagreb, requested international protection in Croatia on 26 February 2024. He argued that he left his country of origin...

HR: The Administrative Court in Zagreb dismissed the appeal of a Burundian national against the Ministry of Interior’s rejection of his application for international protection, holding that his claims of mistreatment by CNDD-FDD members and Imbonerakure were not substantiated, that his testimony lacked credibility and corroboration, and that country-of-origin information (COI) showed relative stability in Burundi, insufficient to establish persecution or risk of serious harm under Articles 20 and 21 of the Act on International and Temporary Protection.

G.P., a Burundian national, left Burundi and arrived in Croatia, where he was arrested and issued an order to leave the country. He subsequently travelled to Slovenia, then Italy and...
