Finland received on Thursday rare very words of the judgment of the European court of human rights (ECTHR).
Finland turned in 2016 asylum of an iraqi man who was killed soon Iraq after they return home. EIT in the violation of the European convention on human rights, according to which the state will safeguard the right of every person to live.
the Incident is a blow to the Finnish reputation respects human rights as a country, said international law and human rights professor Martin Scheinin .
– People lost their lives in the Finnish legislation and authorities ‘ activities as a result. Is it the pleasure of the subject can be, he said.
“Finland trying to make it to a refugee agreement in compliance with the minimum level”
in processing asylum applications is a matter of judgment, stresses the university of Helsinki international law professor Martti Koskenniemi .
the Asylum seeker the report itself is not a sure proof, whether the applicant returning to their home countries when they suffer or not.
– the Report provides a material, which is the basis for assessing how likely it is, Koskenniemi said.
Ali-the name of the iraqi man’s fear had a strong case: he was in Iraq when he was received death threats and been forced twice trying to kill a target. Immigration agency considered these points as fact.
Professor Martti koskenniemi according to Ali’s case shows that the asylum-seeker when assessing risk, an immigration agency tipped sensitive to the negative decision.Kalevi Rytkölä / Yle
koskenniemi thinks Ali’s case demonstrates that immigration tilts the risk in assessing the sensitivity of the negative decision.
Scheinin is of the same opinion.
the Finnish firm line in relation to iraqi and afghan based partly on the fact that the UN refugee pact trying to find out the minimum level.
the Strict line leads scheinin I, in practice that protection is given to sensitive when the asylum seeker falls into one in a difficult position in the group, such as stack a religious minority. When persecution the reason is more personal, the risk is not taken so seriously.
let’s Say that the risk is, but they are related to iraq’s poor security situation and the fact that the person belongs to the persecution target of the group.
Ali was corruption and human rights crimes of the investigative police. Refugee advice of a leading lawyer Marjaana Laine noted that the Lowest dangerous occupation and violent experience would definitely have been enough asylum to get.
in – Person was profiled for their professional season and thus had a political opinion and particular social group is therefore in danger.

on immigration, the agency is justified in dangerous occupations of negative decisions concerning, for example, that they can leave their work, and thus be safe. Laine’s view, justification is not tenable.
When a person is profiled for their professional or business due to political, not professional exercise cessation usually no effect profiles and cause danger.

“Humanitarian protection could have saved this person”
professor of view, the immigration procedures need to be examined.
– If there is such an unwritten or written rule that doubtful cases are given rather negative than positive decision, that the rules need to change, Koskenniemi said.
Scheinin hope Finland to cancel the changes to the law, which it has undermined asylum seekers ‘ possibilities for international protection. For example, in April 2016, English removal the aliens act, the act, whereby asylum seekers could be granted a residence permit for humanitarian protection on the basis.
Humanitarian protection was granted if the asylum conditions are not met, but the applicant could not return to their homeland, for example, there was armed conflict or severe human rights situation.
Scheinin guess is that without the law change in Ali could have been a humanitarian protection among the.
Yes. Humanitarian protection could well have saved this person.
