Council of State critical of Syrian asylum policy: insufficiently substantiated

The Council of State ruled on a Syrian asylum seeker's case, stating that his application was wrongly rejected and calling for a reassessment of the general asylum policy for Syrians. The Minister must reconsider the country policy, which outlines the safety situation in Syria, previously tightened after the fall of Assad's regime. The Council emphasized that the security situation cannot be viewed in isolation from the years of war and that humanitarian conditions must be considered. The Minister's office is reviewing the ruling, and its implications for other Syrian asylum applications remain unclear. The government is also discussing the return of Syrians to their homeland, focusing on voluntary repatriation.
