Mark Klaassen presenter at the Reuniting Families: From Access to Integration event organized by the EU office of the Red Cross in Brussels.
At the event that recently took place, the participants of the REunification PAthways for IntegRation (REPAIR) project presented their project findings and outcomes.
Klaassen discussed recent developments in the case law of the Court of Justice of the EU and the European Court of Human Rights regarding the family reunification of beneficiaries of international protection. He observed that member states are restricting the right to family reunification by creating both practical and legal hurdles that are difficult to meet for applicants. The jurisprudence discussed demonstrates that where states are becoming more restrictive, the European courts step up to protect the effectiveness of the right to family reunification.
Klaassen encouraged legal practitioners to use the jurisprudence on the effectiveness of the right to family reunification in domestic and European legal proceedings.
