![]() In addition, the IND needs to constantly monitor whether there are signs that a change of situation for the worse is taking place in a country designated as a safe country of origin. All countries of origin still need to be reassessed every two years. Twelve countries – from which an extremely limited number of asylum seekers arrives – were deleted from the list: Andorra, Australia, Canada, Iceland, Japan, Liechtenstein, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway, San Marino, Vatican City and Switzerland. In addition, the Secretary of State decided to shorten the list of safe countries of origin in order to lower the periodical efforts to reassess their situation. The period of mandatory reassessment was completed on 4 November 2021, resulting in cancelling Algeria as a safe country of origin and adding some groups of exemption and groups of special attention to the designation of Mongolia, Morocco, Tunisia and Georgia as safe countries of origin. This reassessment replaced the ‘quick reassessment’ that was normally carried out by the IND and focused only on sources from the US State Department and Freedom House – only if these sources showed significant changes in the country, the IND would carry out a ‘full reassessment’ consulting all sources stated by Article 37(3) Procedures Directive. The Council ruled that the IND had to reassess the list every two years and that this reassessment should be carried out through the same procedure used for the designation of a country as a safe country of origin. Following a judgement from the Council of State from April 2021, the Secretary of State had to reassess the list of safe countries of origin. The list contains countries in which, according to the Dutch government, nationals are under no risk of persecution, torture or inhuman or degrading treatment. In 2022, it has also been added to the Aliens Circular. As provided in the recast Asylum Procedures Directive and Article 3.105ba of the Aliens Decree, this national list was annexed to the Aliens Regulation. Switching from Track 2 to Track 4 may also occur when for example there is ample medical evidence, which demonstrates that the asylum seeker is vulnerable and needs special procedural guarantees.Īnticipating an EU list of safe countries of origin, the Secretary of State communicated at the end of 2015 the intention to draft a national list of safe countries of origin. As a result, the asylum request is further assessed in Track 4. Should it become clear, during the Track 2 procedure, that the asylum seeker might have a well-founded fear for persecution (for example because of their sexual orientation), more thorough assessment by the IND is required. In that case, the IND has to assess whether the asylum seeker is eligible for international protection. The IND cannot maintain the presumption of safe country of origin if the asylum seeker demonstrates that his or her country of origin cannot be regarded as a safe country for them. ![]() In other words, the IND must consider whether the authorities of the applicants’ country of origin, in practice, comply with their obligations under the relevant human rights treaties. However, the IND has to assess in every individual case whether, based on the applicant’s statements, this country is indeed safe for the asylum seeker. In case an asylum seeker is from a safe country of origin, it is presumed that they have no well-founded fear of persecution and does risk of treatment contrary to Article 3 ECHR. Applicants presumed to come from safe countries of origin are channelled under the Accelerated Procedure (“Track 2”) by the IND. ![]() Publishers use these marks when books are returned to them.An asylum request can be declared manifestly unfounded in case the asylum seeker is from a safe country of origin.
