HOLY MOSES: British Theresa May under fire after £100k failed deportation of asylum seeker Isa Muaza

The hunger striker was placed on a chartered plane to the African country - but it was not given permission to land

Home Secretary Theresa May is facing questions over a botched £100,000 deportation after an asylum seeker near death was turned away from Nigeria.

A chartered plane carrying hunger striker Isa Muaza, 47, was refused landing and returned to Britain.

Conferentie: Annual Conference on EU Asylum Law 2013

Trier, 28 October 2013 – 29 October 2013
Language:
English
Event number:
413R19

Areas of law:
Asylum & Immigration Law, Human Rights Law, Judicial Remedies
Contents
The Stockholm Programme and the “EU agenda for better responsibility-sharing and more mutual trust” both aim to create common rules in the area of asylum law so as to increase mutual trust between Member States. After landmark judgments such as MSS v Belgium and Greece in the Strasbourg court and NS and ME in the Luxembourg court, the foundations of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) appeared to be shaken. The recently agreed legislative reform of the CEAS is a chance to repair damage to mutual trust and solidarity and improve EU-wide asylum policies. This conference will focus on the new legislative rules and will assess whether the second phase CEAS can achieve the objective of ensuring common standards in all Member States, based on a high level of protection.

Key topics

The legislative reform package for the Common European Asylum System
The proposed Early-Warning System
Fundamental rights considerations
Update on further recent EU legislation
Relevant case law of the European courts in Luxembourg and Strasbourg in the area of EU asylum law


Who should attend?
Staff of responsible government bodies and national asylum authorities, asylum lawyers and judges in national courts, NGOs.

State responsible for death of three Muslim men in Srebrenica (court rulings)

The Dutch State is responsible for the death of three Muslim men from Srebrenica. This was the ruling given by the Dutch Supreme Court today. The men had sought refuge in the compound of the Dutch battalion (Dutchbat). Dutchbat decided not to evacuate them along with the battalion and instead sent them away from the compound on 13 July 1995. Outside the compound they were murdered by the Bosnian-Serb army or related paramilitary groups.
In two judgments the Supreme Court upheld earlier judgments of The Hague Court of Appeal of 2011 (ECLI:NL:GHSGR:2011:BR0132 and ECLI:NL:GHSGR:2011: BR0133) and 2012 (ECLI:NL:GHSGR:2012:BW9015 and ECLI:NL:GHSGR:2012: BW9014) and dismissed the State’s appeal in cassation against these judgments.

Background

Both cases concern events that took place shortly after the fall of the Srebrenica enclave on 11 July 1995. Hasan Nuhanović was in the employment of the United Nations. He worked as an interpreter at the compound in Potočari where Dutchbat was stationed. He had a UN pass and was on the list of local personnel who could be evacuated with Dutchbat. His father Ibro, mother Nasiha and brother Muhamed had sought refuge in the compound after the fall of the enclave. They were not on the list of local personnel and were informed on 13 July 1995 that they had to leave the compound. Shortly afterwards they were murdered by the Bosnian-Serb army or related paramilitary groups. Hasan is the plaintiff in one of these cases (and the respondent in the cassation proceedings).
Rizo Mustafić was in the employment of the Srebrenica municipal authority and had been seconded by this authority to work for Dutchbat as an electrician at the compound. After the fall of the enclave Rizo, together with his wife and children, had sought refuge in the compound. The family was informed on 13 July 1995 that they had to leave the compound. Shortly afterwards Rizo was murdered by the Bosnian-Serb army or related paramilitary groups. His wife and children survived. They are the plaintiffs in the other case (and respondents in the cassation proceedings).

Two central questions

The proceedings before the Supreme Court turn on two questions:
1. Can Dutchbat’s actions be attributed to the State?
2. Were Dutchbat’s actions wrongful?
Attribution?
The Supreme Court has answered the question of whether Dutchbat’s conduct can be attributed to the State by reference to public international law. In doing so it has followed two sets of rules drawn up by the International Law Commission of the United Nations.
The Supreme Court has held that public international law allows conduct to be attributed not only to the United Nations, which was in charge of the peace mission, but also to the State because the latter had effective control over the disputed conduct of Dutchbat. The Court of Appeal was therefore entitled to hold that Dutchbat’s conduct is attributable to the State.
Wrongful conduct?
The Court of Appeal held that Dutchbat’s conduct was wrongful under the law of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is applicable in this case. This was challenged unsuccessfully in the cassation proceedings. The Supreme Court has added that judicial restraint in the review of Dutchbat’s conduct, as advocated by the State, would mean that there would be virtually no scope for the courts to assess the conduct of a troop contingent in the context of a peace mission. According to the Supreme Court, this is unacceptable. However, a court that assesses the conduct of a troop contingent in retrospect must make allowance for the fact the decisions in question were taken under great pressure in a war situation.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE 'On the Borders of Refugee Protection? The Impact of Human Rights Law on Refugee Law - Comparative Practice and Theory'

Convened by the Refugee Law Initiative, University of London, and partner institutions
Hosted by the Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, London

13 and 14 November 2013

This expert conference breaks new ground in exploring how human rights law (HRL) is shaping the protection of refugees worldwide. A high-level event, it brings together exciting new contributions from more than twenty-five leading international specialists in the refugee protection and HRL - including experts from UNHCR - to take stock of transnational developments in law and practice over the past twenty years, and to cultivate new approaches to the topic. Please see the attached programme for further details.

The five thematic panels of the conference move beyond abstract approaches to HRL and refugee law to assessing legal interaction between the two fields in practice. The first day offers wide-ranging comparative perspectives on how HRL is impacting on refugee law in national settings across the world. The second half-day explores the novel ways in which the borders of refugee protection are being shaped by cross-cutting special themes in HRL and the future challenges that this poses. Substantial opportunities are provided for participants to join in debating and forging new approaches to the themes canvassed by this unique gathering.

Snowden's case shows it's not easy to gain refugee status

If you read the tabloids you might think the UK is full of asylum seekers lazing about in Hampstead council mansions

Edward Snowden is currently the most famous asylum seeker in the world after reportedly applying for refugee status in countries including Russia, Germany, Spain and Ecuador.

In many ways Snowden is far removed from the average asylum seeker. He is an American ex-spy, is assisted by WikiLeaks in his pursuit of asylum and was at one point believed to have been hiding in the Bolivian President’s plane. But the case of Edward Snowden means that people are reading about asylum, an issue that is shrouded by misconceptions.
Tabloids and popular myths can make it appear as though western countries are perennially flooded by refugees. Opinion polling in 2012 showed that four out of 10 people in the UK believed that more than 10 per cent of the population are asylum seekers. The actual figure is less than 1 per cent.
Most asylum seekers are not American ex- spies who flee to Hong Kong en route to Moscow. Last year the largest number of any country came from war torn Afghanistan. Indeed the high correlation between countries that endure large scale violence (like Afghanistan and Iraq) or human rights abuses (China) and the number of people who flee them explains a lot. People are literally fleeing for their lives.

Is Edward Snowden a refugee? by Colin Yeo

Op het weblog Free Movement publiceert een Brits advocatenkantoor over het vreemdelingenrecht http://www.freemovement.org.uk/2013/07/02/is-edward-snowden-a-refugee/

Is Edward Snowden a refugee? by  Colin Yeo

Edward Snowden, the private contractor whoexposed the industrial scale intelligence gathering methods of the United States’ National Security Agency and our own GCHQ, is seeking asylum in Russia and a host of other countries. Hefears that his ‘freedom and safety’ are under threat. The US government asserts that he is a fugitive from justice, not a refugee.

Snowden is now at the mercy of high international politics. His case now transcends the law and a legal analysis is interesting on a hypothetical level but is probably largely pointless. Whatever the legal position, it seems likely that he will or will not be granted sanctuary according to political whims and convenience.

What is a refugee?

For what it is worth, Snowden almost certainly is a refugee as defined by the 1951 UN Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, commonly referred to as the Refugee Convention. The definition (at Article 1(A)(2)) can be broken into its constituent parts:

If we go through these step by step, it is clear that he has a well founded fear of something happening to him if he goes back to the United States.

Whether that treatment would amount to persecution is a key question. Can criminal charges amount to ‘being persecuted’? If a murderer, say, escapes his home country and extradition back to his home country is sought, can he claim asylum on the basis that he will be imprisoned on return? No. Snowden has apparently broken US law, so why might his case be any different to a common criminal? In fact he still has a very strong case, as discussed below.

He does fall within the five Convention reasons (race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion), that of political opinion. The US government might assert otherwise but it is crystal clear that his actions were politically motivated in exposing the truth about the system of government in the US and the extent of its control over its citizens. That falls squarely within the political opinion reason.

He is outside the US and will remain so while claiming asylum.

He certainly cannot secure the protection of his home state, the United States, which has rather rashly gone as far as withdrawing his passportand thereby arguably withdrawing consular protection.

Can criminal charges amount to ‘being persecuted’?

Yes, criminal charges can and sometimes do amount to persecution. Breaking a law then fleeing justice does not make one a refugee, but if the criminal offence or the criminal sanction do not meet internationally agreed norms as defined in the various international treaties, or if prosecution and/or punishment are discriminatory or disproportionate, then the individual is a refugee.

This has always been true under the Refugee Convention. The House of Lords examined this question in the case of Sepet and Bulbul [2003] UKHL 15, an asylum claim by two Turkish Kurds who did not want to perform military service in Turkey. Military Service was a requirement there and it was against the law to dodge the draft. International conventions do not prohibit compulsory military service and therefore the claimants could not show that their prosecution for draft evasion in Turkey would violate international norms.

The legal position within the European Union has been somewhat clarified and improved by the Common Asylum System, in particular the Qualification Directive 2004/83/EC. Article 10 of the Directive sets out a common EU understanding of what is meant by ‘acts of persecution’ and includes

“prosecution or punishment, which is disproportionate or discriminatory”

Why Edward Snowden Isn’t a Refugee And why Ecuador's a bad place to go if you are one

 "NSA leaker Edward Snowden appears to be a lot of things: brave, well spoken and a committed proponent of civil disobedience. But one thing he almost certainly is not is a refugee. Snowden landed Sunday in Russia from Hong Kong, where the U.S. was seeking his extradition on espionage charges. Ecuador’s Foreign Minister, Ricardo Patiño, subsequently announced via Twitter that Snowden had requested asylum in the impoverished South American country."

(...)

" So for Snowden to be a refugee with a valid claim to asylum he would have to argue two things. First, he’d have to show that he has a well-founded fear of persecution based on his political opinion. Second, he’d have to show that the crime he has admitted to, namely leaking highly classified documents, is either nonserious or political."

Job description

SIM will be appointing three PhD researchers to engage in research on the so-called ‘receptor approach to human rights’. The receptor approach identifies the social institutions which are already in place in a given country to meet international human rights requirements, and it indicates how these institutions may be improved if they fall short of those requirements. By relying as much as possible on home-grown remedies, the receptor approach sets out to do justice to local culture and, at the same time, to enhance international human rights protection, especially in areas where such enhancement is most needed (see Tom Zwart, Using Local Culture to Further the Implementation of International Human Rights: The Receptor Approach, 34 (2012) Human Rights Quarterly, pp. 546-569). The project is being funded by the Dutch Foreign Office. The following topic will be researched:

The receptor approach and public international law
The PhD researcher covering this topic will look into the question if and how the receptor approach matches the requirements set by public international law regarding human rights. Thus, the receptor approach assumes that human rights may be implemented through non-legal means like culture and social institutions; that countries may retain their own – traditional – value system when they become signatories to human rights treaties; that the individual-versus-the-state paradigm is one but certainly not the only way to bring human rights to fruition; that the state can discharge its responsibility for implementing human rights obligations by leaving it mainly to non-state actors like the family and the community to realise human rights. The question is whether and how these elements of the receptor approach can be fitted into public international law regarding human rights.

Requirements

Applicants for this position are expected to have a master's degree, profound knowledge of public international law regarding human rights, exemplified by having completed an LLM in this area. Having working experience within an international institution governed by public international law and being familiar with TWAIL and other critical approaches to international are considered assets in this regard.

The researchers for all three topics are expected to write a PhD thesis in a timely fashion under the supervision of the director of the Receptor Project, Prof. Tom Zwart; to participate in and contribute to the activities of the School; to enroll in the School’s PhD training program; and to prepare papers for submission to peer-reviewed journals. Approximately 80% of the time will be devoted to researching and writing the thesis, while 20% will be spent on other activities, including taking courses.

Conditions of employment

We offer a PhD position with a gross monthly salary starting at € 2,062 in the first year to € 2,638 in the fourth year of employment. The successful candidates will be offered an initial contract as a PhD student for 18 months. Upon positive evaluation of the PhD students’ performance the contract will be extended by 2,5 years. We offer a pension scheme, a holiday allowance of 8% per year and flexible employment conditions. Conditions are based on the Collective Employment Agreement of the Dutch Universities.

The starting date will be September 1st, 2013. The PhD researchers will be based at the Faculty of Law, Economics and Governance of Utrecht University.

Organisation

Utrecht University has great ambitions for its teaching quality and study success rates. This also applies to its clear research profiles which are centred around four themes: Sustainability, Life Sciences, Youth & Identity, and Institutions. Utrecht University plays a prominent role in our society and contributes to finding the answers to topical and future societal issues.

Through its research program on Human Rights in a World of Conflict and Diversity, SIM participates in the focus area Conflicts and Human Rights. SIM is the Utrecht member of the Netherlands School of Human Rights Research, a consortium of six Dutch universities and the T.M.C. Asser Institute, which have pooled their resources in the area of human rights research. The School focuses in particular on multidisciplinary research on human rights in Asia and Africa, which is exemplified by the Receptor Project.
