Date of the decision: July 5, 2016
Jurisdiction: Council of Europe – European Court of Human Rights
Country: Netherlands
Subject: Non-admissibility – Article 3 – undocumented migrants – human dignity and core obligations under the ICESCR.
Legal basis:
The Court acknowledged the conclusions of the European Committee of Social Rights in CEC and FEANTSA v. the Netherlands but concludes that those findings do not automatically entail a violation of Article 3 (inhuman and degrading treatment) in the context of the ECHR. The non-admissibility decision was based upon the fact that the Dutch government had not remained indifferent and was engaged in a solution.
