Overview

• Danish and Greenlandic governments have agreed to abolish psychological tests used to assess Greenlandic parents' ability to raise children.

• A new law to formalize the change is expected to take effect by May 1, 2025.
• Past cases involving the tests will be reviewed to address potential injustices stemming from their use.
• The decision comes after Greenland's Prime Minister Múte B. Egede highlighted deteriorating Danish-Greenlandic relations and called for the tests to be stopped.
