Netherlands: Asylum appeal right

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

Asylum seekers in the Netherlands will soon be able to appeal against a rejection of their asylum request through new legislation brought to the lower house of the Dutch parliament by junior Justice Minister Schmitz. However the rights allowed in the new bill are limited. Asylum seekers will for instance not be allowed to appeal against their eventual status within the Netherlands, only their right to remain in the country or not. The original right of appeal was abolished in 1994.
