– UNE’s opinion in this regard remains that it was correct to withdraw the family’s permission to live in Norway. Mother and son first arrived in Norway without a father. Then they got a permit where it was pretty clear that it could be withdrawn
if the father showed up, that’s exactly what happened, says the head of the Immigration Committee, Ingun Marie Halle, on TV 2.
– strange
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is appointing a lawyer in his own case, lawyer Terje Einarsen.
He has a party post on Farida’s page on Tuesday.
In advance, UNHCR has made clear in a letter to the court that, in its opinion, there is no basis for the termination and revocation of refugee status in the Farida case.
– It is strange that Norway is in a situation where the High Commissioner decides to go with his own lawyer to guide the court on how this convention should be applied, says Humlen.
UNHCR agrees that UNE has misinterpreted the Refugee Convention, which Norway has joined, Humlen says.
– When the High Commissioner comes in and says that this is a correct understanding of the Refugee Convention, it will significantly strengthen the case of Farida and his family.
Hope for the family
It is rare for the UN to intervene directly in a court case in one country.
It was not possible to obtain an interview with Einarsen prior to the appeal case, but the procedural letter states that UNHCR believes that the matter raises fundamental questions related to the interpretation and application of the Refugee Convention.
– To be absolutely sure that the court complies with the international standards of the Refugee Convention, they are asking their own lawyer and they will follow the whole case, both with introductory presentations and with the procedure, says Humlen.
– Is this family waiting now that they can return to Norway?
– Yes, if the High Commissioner’s opinions are related to the matter, then there is no other option.
UNE, for its part, maintains that they had the right to send the family
– The fact that UNHCR has its own representative in the case does not change our opinion on the matter. It is now up to the Court of Appeals to decide whether they agree with the ruling of the district court, which concluded that the UNE decision was valid and in accordance with Norwegian regulations.
and international commitments, says department head Halle.
A special lawyer is a witness
When Farida and her mother fled the Jaghuri home district, they received protection in Norway because the authorities considered that it was not safe for them to return in time.
Refugee status cannot be recovered even if the father came to Norway, says Humlen.
– There must also be a significant change in the security situation of a fundamental and fundamental nature, and it must be stable to lift refugee status.
In the previous round, the Supreme Court considered that UNE’s decision was invalid because the security situation was not sufficiently well evaluated. In retrospect, UNE rectified this, concluding that the family could safely stay at home, and also in Kabul,
where Farida and her parents have been hiding for five years.
– You cannot send refugees and then wait to see if it is safe, and if it is safe later, you can say that refugee status can cease, says Humlen.
Former UN Special Envoy to Afghanistan Kai Eide will explain in court about the security situation in Afghanistan. He previously criticized UNE’s assessment of Farida and his family’s security situation.
Testing begins Tuesday at 9 a.m. and you can follow the developments on TV2.no
