More about the project.

 

  • Bonavero Institute of Human Rights - Report 1/2025 "The Absolute Prohibition of Refoulement and Exceptional Circumstances"
T.P.I. in the case of C.O.C.G. and Others v Lithuania before the ECHR
 

The report analyses the legal issues arising in the context of pushbacks of asylum seekers at Europe's borders in situations where the entry of asylum seekers to European states may have been facilitated by third states. This,  in political parlance, is characterized as ‘hybrid attacks’ or ‘instrumentalisation’ of migrants by third states. The report reproduces the Third Party Intervention (TPI)  submitted to the European Court of Human Rights in the case of C.O.C.G. and Others v Lithuania, currently pending before its Grand Chamber. The TPI was led by Professor Nora Markard (University of Münster) and co-authored by twenty-two legal academics. Further details available here.
