The Finnish Refugee Advice Center published an article where it stated that subsequent applications are a result of changes in the legal framework and not vice versa and based its statement on examples of clients assisted by the organisation as well as a report of the Equality Ombudsman published in 2024. The latter report mentioned that approximately 41% of the examined subsequent applications resulted in a positive outcome. The organisation stated that subsequent applications are a tool for safeguarding human rights and ensuring the prohibition of returns when human rights are at stake.
