CJEU - C-921/19, LH v Staatssecretaris van Justitie en Veiligheid
Country of applicant:
Afghanistan
Keywords:
Exclusion from protection, Subsequent application, Subsidiary Protection, Individual threat
Article 40(2) of the Asylum Procedures Directive does not distinguish between initial and subsequent applications for international protection. As such, Member States should not treat the assessment of evidence submitted in subsequent applications different from evidence submitted in a first application. Any document submitted by the applicant in support of his application for international protection must be considered, and the inability to authenticate that document cannot justify the exclusion of such a document from the examination.
