Abstract

On 5 April 2022 the Council of State ruled that specific groups within a country can either be completely excluded from the designation of safe country of origin or not. Until this ruling was delivered, the Netherlands could opt to pay special attention to specific groups that did not completely meet the threshold to be completely excluded from the safe country of origin designation. Therefore, the accelerated procedure in Track 2 still applied. With this new ruling, all groups that were previously paid special attention to in Track 2 were then completely excluded from the safe country of origin designation.
