German court refuses to cancel Afghan settlement commitments
The highest German court has rejected the mass cancellation of government commitments to resettle Afghans, emphasizing that it is not permissible to cancel all promised resettlement opportunities for Afghans at once, and that each case must be considered individually. The court upheld a complaint from an Afghan mother and her two children, after they were selected in 2021 under a human rights list established by the previous government following the Taliban's return to power. The court pointed out that the Interior Ministry's decision to end the program in December 2025, which cancels around 640 commitments without individual review, violates the constitutional prohibition of arbitrary procedures. It considered that even in cases where the government has broad discretionary power, it cannot act absolutely. The court also confirmed that when someone is notified of approval for their asylum application, any revocation must take their circumstances into account.
