The judges ruled that the "accelerated" border procedure used to reject asylum applications only applies to non-vulnerable individuals from countries considered "safe". They highlighted that Bangladesh and Egypt do not meet these criteria, based on a recent ECJ ruling that a country must be safe in all its regions and for all of its citizens to be deemed "safe." This significant ruling underscores the judiciary's commitment to upholding human rights standards in line with European law.
Luciana Sangiovanni, president of the Chamber of the Court, elaborated on the ruling's implications, stating that the decision reaffirms the judiciary's role in enforcing EU law over national law when conflicts arise, particularly concerning the treatment of vulnerable asylum seekers. The ruling puts additional pressure on the Italian government to ensure compliance with European legal standards and reflect a growing tension between governmental policies and judicial oversight.
