Overview

• The Federal Administrative Court concluded that deportations to Greece for non-vulnerable male refugees are lawful under the Dublin Regulation and EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
• The court ruled that single, healthy, work-capable male refugees would not face inhuman or degrading conditions in Greece, meeting the minimal 'Brot, Bett und Seife' standard.
• The decision resolves inconsistencies in lower court rulings and confirms that repeat asylum applications in Germany by refugees already protected in Greece are inadmissible.
• Human rights organizations, including Pro Asyl, criticized the ruling, arguing that deported refugees would face destitution due to systemic issues in Greece's asylum system.
• NGOs announced plans to document conditions in Greece and explore further legal challenges, including potential constitutional complaints against the ruling.
