CGRS temporarily suspends the processing of cases of applicants from the West Bank

Go back to the Recent Developments Timeline

The suspension applies to applicants who are not registered with UNRWA and come from the West Bank. Interviews and assessments will continue, and CGRS will continue to notify decisions granting refugee status and inadmissibility decisions when the applicant had already been granted international protection in another Member state. 

However, the CGRS will stop notifying decisions granting subsidiary protection and decisions refusing international protection.
