Subsidiary Protection and Climate Refugees
The International Organization for Migration reports that, over recent decades, 218.6 million people have been internally displaced due to climate change, and some projections estimate that up to 1.2 billion people could become “climate refugees” by 2050.
Yet, there is no consensus on the definition of

S.S. and Others V. Italy
Recently, particularly in Europe, the obligations towards refugees and asylum seekers have become a game of cat and mouse, whereby obligations are created, and loopholes or other legally sound ways of dodging the obligation without violating any framework are found and exploited. As a result, the distressed civilian

Pushing Back Responsibility
In June 2025, the Greek government announced the deployment of naval warships to international waters off the Libyan coast, framing the operation as a necessary intervention to prevent migrants from reaching Greek territory. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis justified the initiative as a “pre-emptive message”, intended to signal that human

(con’t from above)
[] The Applicant feels that she and other similarly-situated individuals are at risk of being deported to CECOT due to the Trump Administration’s executive orders demonizing transgender people, equating advocating for the fundamental human rights of transgender children as “child abuse” and labelling transgender people as a group are morally inferior due to being transgender (see para. 33 in this Application as it relates to the Military Readiness EO). As a result, the Applicant feels that transgender people as a group are at a high risk to be targeted for deportation by the Trump administration, regardless of whether the trans people have citizenship.
[] This is also more likely when you consider how Trump is attacking trans people’s right to access accurate identity documents and proof of citizenship (such as a passport).2/2

Planning to add this to my filing to add all the new #Trump shit to my court case this next week:
INCLUSION OF EL SALVADORIAN NDP DOCUMENTS
[] The Applicant also seeks to admit the following documents from the National Documentation Package for El Salvador to the Applicant’s record: 6.1, 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.7, 6.8, 7.7, 7.22, 7.24, 7.26, 9.4, 9.6, and 9.7.
[] The reason to admit these is due to recent developments including the Trump administration’s decision to start deporting people to the El Salvadorian concentration camp called “Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo” or “CECOT”.
[] This is relevant to the Applicant as President Trump has been overheard talking to El Salvadorian President Nayib Bukele about deporting US citizens to El Salvador for the purposes of imprisoning them at CECOT.(1/2)

CW: Asylum, UK, Diego Garcia
As though the British military occupation of Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands wasn't shameful enough, since 2021 dozens of Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka who arrived by boat have been detained in a tiny enclosure in tents - and the UK govt says international conventions on asylum don't apply there. Our own Guantanamo Bay.

The United Nations has criticized Britain's Illegal Migration Bill, stating that it goes against the country's obligations under international human rights and refugee law.
The UN refugee and human rights chiefs are urging the UK government to reverse this law and ensure the rights of migrants, refugees, and asylum-seekers are respected without discrimination. #HumanRights #immigration #refugees #RefugeeLaw
