Abstract

The number of asylum requests made to countries in the Global North involves an increasing amount of legal challenges. One of the challenges is the question of what happens to asylum seekers who are suspected of serious criminality. At present, there is a policy of separating possible foreign criminals from asylum seekers. A growing number of European countries resort to refugee law instruments to identify foreign criminals. However, resorting to refugee law instruments to detect possible criminals might violate the rights of the accused. This chapter analyses this tension between immigration law and criminal law through two key decisions: the H. and J. v. the Netherlands of the European Court of Human Rights, and Jaballah (Re) from Canada.

There are other means to identify perpetrators of serious international crimes through law relating to asylum and immigration. As an example, Article 2 of the EU Council Decision numbered 2003/335/JHA of 8 May 2003 on the investigation and prosecution of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes requires members states to take necessary measures during permanent residency application if the information shows that an applicant is a suspect of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity, these acts may be investigated and prosecuted.

79.
According to the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service’s decision, there are serious reasons to believe that Mr. H. had committed (in a leadership role or as a co-perpetrator or accomplice) crimes against humanity as per Article 1F (a), or in the alternative, that he had been guilty of acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations as per Article 1F (c). Mr. J.’s refugee status was withdrawn on the grounds of Article 1F. H. and J. v. the Netherlands, Appl. Nos. 978/09 and 992/09, ECtHR, 13 November 2014, §§ 9, 16.

In this chapter, I will not examine their complaints under Article 8, which set forth that “1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence. 2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security, public safety or the economic well-being of the country, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others.”
82.
The relevant part of Article 6 of the Convention reads as follows “In the determination of his civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charge against him, everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time by an independent and impartial tribunal established by law…”.

An Afghan excluded individual expressed that “‘Because of you I am 1F, our kids have 1F.’ My children say: ‘why have you said you were in the military, why didn’t you lie?’ Because of the war I lost my brothers, parents and family. But because of the injustice here I lost my spouse, kids and life.” For a detailed analysis of the profile of excluded individuals and their living conditions, see Reijven and van Wijk (2014) p. 260.
