M.N. and Others v. Belgium: Grand Chamber finds case inadmissible
On 5 May 2020, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights published its decision declaring the case of M.N and Others v Belgium (Application No. 3599/18) to be inadmissible.
The applicants, a family of four, are Syrian nationals from Aleppo. In 2016, they requested visas on humanitarian grounds from the Belgian Consulate in Beirut, Lebanon. The Belgian Aliens Office rejected their requests and the applicants requested the suspension of execution of the decision by the Council for Alien Law Litigation (CALL). The Aliens Office again rejected the applicants' requests and the CALL suspended them once more and subsequent applications for judicial review were dismissed. The applicants lodged an application before the European Court of Human Rights alleging a violation of Article 3 and Article 13, on account of Belgium's refusal to issue visas on humanitarian grounds, as well as a violation of Article 6 on the state's failure to execute the judgments.
The Grand Chamber reiterated that Article 1 ECHR is limited to persons within the jurisdiction of State Parties to the Convention. It therefore assessed, inter alia, whether exceptional circumstances existed which could lead to a conclusion that Belgium had exercised extraterritorial jurisdiction in respect of the applicants.
