Turkey
Keywords:
Crime against humanity, Exclusion from protection, Non-refoulement, Serious non-political crime, Standard of proof, Terrorism, War crimes, Acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the UN
Exclusion from refugee status on the grounds of serious non-political crimes is only permissible if the applicant still poses a threat. The Court found that an applicant from Turkey, who had been subject to past persecution, was not sufficiently safe from renewed persecution if returned.
