Pushbacks

The first issue of the Greek Asylum Case Law Report published today is a joint initiative of the Greek Council for Refugees (GCR), HIAS Greece and Refugee Support Aegean (RSA), organisations providing legal support and representation to refugees and asylum seekers in Greece. The note compiles extracts of decisions of Administrative Courts, the Independent Appeals Committees and the Asylum Service in the area international protection selected from the casework of the above organisations.

On 20 December 2021, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) announced that two cases were communicated to Greece concerning the illegal collective expulsion of migrants from its territory.  

The Observatory of the Refugee and Migration Crisis in the Aegean presents a collection of articles from Greek (local, national) and international press as well as announcements and press releases from humanitarian actors concerning Greece’s recent allegations of push backs against displaced people in the Aegean sea.

Dear Sir,
