Order of the Court of Genova, XI Civil Section, No. 8 of 30 June 2016

The Court ruled that the situation in the Casamance region of Senegal, though characterized by internal disorders, could not be described as a case of “generalized violence during an armed conflict” as required by Article 14 of legislative decree No. 25 of 2008 for the so-called subsidiary protection ex Article 14.c of legislative decree No. 151 of 2007. On other hand, the decision of the Territorial Commission on the recognition of international protection, which had denied also a temporary permit for humanitarian reasons, was wrong, bearing in mind that the emergency situation existing in that region was such to put him, in case of repatriation, in a situation of serious vulnerability, and thus to the prejudice of his fundamental rights.
