Omplacering av asylsökande till Rwanda stoppades

Det plan som på tisdagskvällen var planerat att föra asylsökande i Storbritannien till Rwanda kommer inte lyfta som planerat, uppger det brittiska inrikesdepartementet för BBC. Beskedet kommer efter att Europadomstolen hävt flera av de aktuella omplaceringsbesluten.

Planerna på att skicka asylsökande från Storbritannien till Rwanda är del av det nya flyktingavtal som slutits mellan länderna. Tanken är att asylprocessen ska skötas där, medan Storbritannien står för kostnaden.

Authorities Ignore ECtHR interim measures and distress calls

Greek authorities continue to ignore interim measures by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) as well as distress calls. Turkiye deemed a safe third country by Greece for Afghans and Syrians has increased efforts to return refugees to these countries. Greece continues to apply "systematic detention of asylum seekers" despite mounting international critique.

As Greek authorities are again under scrutiny over systematic pushbacks, new incidents continue to be reported. A report from the UN Special Rapporteur Human Rights of Migrants recently confirmed that: "In Greece, pushbacks at land and sea borders have become de facto general policy". In an Opinion piece Pavlos Eleftheriadis professor of law at the University of Oxford describes how "The rule of law is sinking in Greek waters," urging the Greek government to act as it "can't, in good faith, continue to ignore pushback allegations".

Meanwhile, reports of Greek authorities continue to ignore interim measures by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) alerts to people on the move stranded in the Evros region along the borders of Turkiye. The region is the scene of tension between the neighboring countries and recently Greek authorities denied involvement in a shooting at the Evros border reportedly killing an Afghan national inside Turkish territory - Turkish media alleged shots were fired from within Greece.

European court decided - no right to detain people just because they entered 'illegally'

The Court slams automatic detention and denial of asylum

The Court found the practice of denying the right to asylum to be in violation of EU law, including the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, and debunked the Lithuanian claims that the country has the right to derogate European law in "extraordinary situations" or during the "mass influx of foreigners".

Depicting detention as 'temporary accommodation' or even an 'alternative to detention' allows no derogation, Amnesty International said earlier.

All this confirms AI's earlier report citing abuses against people who crossed into Lithuania from Belarus.

EU-dom: Ungern har brutit mot asylrätten

En ungersk lag som kriminaliserar dem som hjälper migranter och inskränker den internationella asylrätten underkänns av EU-domstolen.

I juli 2019 stämde EU-kommissionen Ungern inför EU-domstolen för för en lag som gör det olagligt att hjälpa asylsökande och begränsar vilka som kan söka asyl i landet. I dag tisdag kom EU-domstolens dom som går på kommissionens linje.

"Ungern har åsidosatt unionsrätten genom att göra det straffbart att organisera verksamhet som syftar till att möjliggöra för personer som inte uppfyller nationella kriterierna för att beviljas internationellt skydd att inleda ett asylförfarande", heter det i ett uttalande från domstolen.

ECHR serves justice for little Madina, Croatia found guilty

On the morning of publishing this News Digest, just a couple of days before the anniversary of the tragic death of a little girl, Madina Hussiny, the European Court for Human Rights did the job Croatian courts didn't dare to do: they condemned the perpetrators and served some justice for the family of a girl who died during a pushback from Croatia to Serbia.

From the text of the verdict:

The case concerned the death of a six-year-old Afghan child, MAD.H., who was hit by a train after allegedly having been denied the opportunity to seek asylum by the Croatian authorities and ordered to return to Serbia via the tracks. It also concerned, in particular, the applicants' detention while seeking international protection. The Court found in particular that the investigation into the death had been ineffective, that the applicant children's detention had amounted to ill-treatment, and that the decisions around the applicants' detention had not been dealt with diligently.

It also held that some of the applicants had suffered a collective expulsion from Croatia, and that the State had hindered the effective exercise of the applicants' right of individual application by restricting access to their lawyer among other things.

In today's judgment in the case of M.H. and Others v. Croatia (applications nos. 15670/18 and 43115/18) the European Court of Human Rights held that there had been:

(1) unanimously, a violation of Article 2 (right to life) of the European Convention on Human Rights as concerned the investigation into the death of the Afghan family's daughter

(2) by six votes to one, a violation of Article 3 (prohibition on inhuman and degrading treatment) in respect of the applicant children

(3) unanimously, no violation of Article 3 in respect of the adult applicants

Utpekad islamist anklagar Sverige för brott mot mänskliga rättigheter

En av de sex misstänkta islamister, som av Säpo klassats som ett hot mot rikets säkerhet och som regeringen beslutade att utvisa 2019, har skickat in en klagan mot Sverige till Europadomstolen för mänskliga rättigheter, kan P3 Nyheter avslöja.

Mannens utvisningsärende fick stor uppmärksamhet efter en granskning av Ekot - en granskning som senare kritiserats efter att det framkommit att den granskande reportern och mannen haft en relation.

How long is too long? The limits of restrictions on family reunification

By Nikolas Feith Tan, Senior Researcher and Jens Vedsted-Hansen, Professor

On 9 July 2021, the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights handed down its judgment on Denmark's legislative tightening of family reunification rules for temporary protection holders in the case of M.A. v Denmark. In a careful but resounding sixteen-to-one decision, the Court declared that the statutory requirement of three years waiting time for family reunification for a Syrian doctor with 'temporary subsidiary protection' status in Denmark breached his right to respect for family life under Article 8 of the Convention. The judgment has already been the subject of academic comment, with analysis tending to focus on the role of the ECtHR in adjudicating migration and asylum policy and legal implications for Denmark (in Danish). This post discusses the background, main findings and implications of the judgment from both a human rights and EU law perspective, including the impact of EU law on the ECtHR's assessment of the Danish suspension rule.

Poland ignores interim measures decision by ECtHR

Access for lawyers denied by Poland despite interim measures ordered by ECtHR - the situation along the border deteriorates

The situation along the Polish border remains fluid and static at the same time. 32 people are still trapped at the border with Belarus in a standoff between Polish and Belarusian Border Guards. An unknown, yet significant number of people is being pushed back and forth in various locations along the border.

A group of 32 people has been stuck in between Polish and Belarusian border guards since the beginning of August. They are more or less at nature's mercy, held in "problematic sanitary and humanitarian conditions", as the European Court for Human Rights (ECtHR) puts it.

On Monday 27th of September, the ECtHR decided to prolong the interim measures that were first issued on the 25th of August and included the provision of food, water, clothing, adequate medical care and, if possible, temporary shelter for this specific group of people. The interim measures do not currently include the duty to grant access to the Polish territory and asylum system.

In this latest decision, the ECtHR further ordered the Polish government to grant the people trapped at the border access to lawyers. The Court also decided to indicate to the Polish Government that the people should not be sent back to Belarus. With yesterday's decision, the Government of Poland was given notice of the application and was asked to submit written observations on the admissibility and merits of the application.

Journalists however reported that Polish authorities defied the ECtHR's decision and blocked the lawyers that were trying to get access to the trapped people:

Europadomstolen ger flyktingar fast på gränsen rätt till mat, vatten och skydd

Europadomstolen för mänskliga rättigheter beslutade på onsdagen att Polen och Lettland är skyldiga att hjälpa de flyktingarna som sitter fast på gränsen till Belarus med mat, vatten och tillfälligt skydd.

I snart två veckor har en grupp om 32 flyktingar suttit fast på gränsen mellan Belarus och Polen.

Som DN tidigare rapporterat blir situationen på gränsen vid byn Usnarz Gorny allt mer desperat när flyktingarna omgivna av soldater på var sida gränsen varken kommer fram eller tillbaka.

Europadomstolen för mänskliga rättigheter i Strasbourg gav under onsdagen ett interimistiskt beslut om att Polen är skyldiga att hjälpa flyktingarna med mat, vatten, kläder och adekvat medicinsk hjälp.

Europadomstolen friar Finland i fallet där en asylsökandes död iscensatts

Den fällande domen mot Finland har reviderats efter att nya fakta kommit fram om irakiern som utvisades och därefter ska ha dödats på en gata i Bagdad.

Europeiska domstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna (Europadomstolen) har nått ett beslut i det exceptionella fallet där två irakier iscensatt en tredjes död för att få uppehållstillstånd. I den nya domen frias Finland i fallet.

Finland fick en fällande dom i ett fall där en asylsökande fått avslag och frivilligt återvänt till Irak. Därefter ska han ha blivit skjuten i Bagdad i december 2017.

After the 'Refugee Crisis': ECtHR Deference to State Sovereignty in Detention Cases

Juan Ruiz Ramos, PhD Candidate at Universidad de Granada

The 'Strasbourg reversal' is an intriguing concept in European human rights law. According to this theory, developed by Marie Dembour in When Humans Become Migrants, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) always begins its analysis of a migration-related case with the statement that States have a 'right to control the entry of non-nationals into its territory'. By doing this, the Court grants States greater leeway to enact potentially rights-violating policies than in cases in which the applicant is a national of the defendant state. Having been taught that human rights are universal, the idea that some individuals are more entitled to human rights than others (paraphrasing George Orwell) fractures one's idealistic conception of human rights law.

The most plausible explanation for the existence of the Strasbourg reversal is the fact that the Court reacts to political pressures coming from States who do not wish to see a supranational institution intervene in sensitive political issues such as migration (see here and here). In this vein, I analysed in an article last year whether the political tensions deriving from the 2015 'refugee crisis' led the Court to become even more deferential to States' practices in an area which is particularly troublesome in terms of human rights protection: the detention of asylum-seekers. To this end, the article carries out a systematic review of the judgments on the matter rendered between 2015 and the first months of 2020. The focus of the analysis is on the Court's case law under Article 5(1)(f) (the exception to the right to liberty for purposes of migration control) and Article 3 ECHR (prohibition of degrading treatment in relation to detention conditions).
