Failure to grant a residence permit in Sweden complied with the right to respect for family life

On 6 June 2019, in its decision in the case of Abokar v. Sweden (application no. 23270/16) notified in writing, concerning the Swedish authorities’ refusal to grant a Somali national a residence permit for family reunion purposes, the European Court of Human Rights has unanimously declared the application under Article 8 (right to respect for family life) of the European Convention on Human Rights inadmissible. The Court was satisfied that the authorities had struck a fair balance between the applicant’s interests, on the one hand, and those of the State in the effective implementation of immigration policy, on the other.
