The Court of Appeal of Brussels, seized by the Court of Cassation of the decision of the Court of Appeal of Gant of 16 June 2016, considered that, on the basis of the criteria of the Montevideo Convention, Palestine must be considered as a sovereign State under international law. Therefore, considering that the applicant has sufficient connection with the State of Palestine, the Brussels Court of Appeal concluded that the claimant is not a stateless person. 5 June 2018 | Judicial Body: Belgium: Cour d'Appel de Bruxelles | Document type: Case Law | Topic(s): Palestinian - Statelessness | Countries: Belgium - Palestine, State of |

Arrêt n°18/2018
The court annulled article 1 of the Law of 15 december 1980 on aliens on the grounds that, the absence of an derogatory regime to the benefit of stateless persons for the fee due in the residence regularisation procedure, constitutes an unjustified difference of treatment between refugees and stateless persons. The absence of an automatic right of residence implies that, de facto, stateless persons have to pay this fee whilst refugees do not. 22 February 2018 | Judicial Body: Belgium: Cour constitutionnelle | Document type: Case Law | Topic(s): Access to procedures - Equality before the law - Residence permits / Residency - Statelessness | Countries: Belgium |
