Iran
Keywords:
Effective remedy (right to), Non-refoulement, Safe third country, Responsibility for examining application, Dublin Transfer, Request to take back
The applicant challenged his transfer to Greece from the UK under the Dublin II Regulation, on the basis that the situation for asylum seekers in Greece would lead to a violation of Article 3 ECHR. The Court declared the application manifestly ill-founded and therefore inadmissible, as it was presumed that Greece would comply with its obligations and would not refoule him to his county of origin Iraq.
