On 1 August, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered its much-anticipated judgment, addressing the interpretation of the “safe country of origin” (SCO) concept under the Asylum Procedures Directive 2013/32 (APD). Contrary to AG de la Tour, the Court firmly ruled that Member States cannot designate a country as “safe” unless it provides adequate protection to its entire population. Ultimately, the Court’s judgment effectively preserves the current protection until the EU legislator fully exercises its prerogative to amend the rules.
