Abstract

According to the press release of the Court:

The Council confirms the exclusion of refugee status and subsidiary protection status for a Moroccan national. He considers that there are serious reasons to believe that he has been committed acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.

The application of an exclusion clause only serves to preclude the grant to the applicant of a privileged status in Belgium, whether as a refugee or as subsidiary protection. In its judgment, however, the Council recalls that the Belgian authorities nevertheless remain bound by the international obligations deriving from Articles 2 and 3 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Such an examination under Articles 2 and 3 of the ECHR involves assessing the compatibility of this possible removal measure.
