Court of Justice (Grand Chamber) 17 February 2009, C-465/07 (Meki Elgafaji and Noor Elgafaji v Staatssecretaris van Justitie.)
Also known as
The core legal dispute in Case C-465/07 revolves around the interpretation of Article 15(c) of Directive 2004/83 regarding the eligibility for subsidiary protection for individuals facing serious threats due to indiscriminate violence in armed conflict. The Court determined that an applicant does not need to prove specific targeting based on personal circumstances to establish a serious threat to their life, and that a high level of violence in the conflict can substantiate a real risk for civilians. This interpretation aligns with the protections guaranteed under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).AI
