The Danish cessation policy
Syrian refugees in Denmark risk losing their residence permits due to cessation legislation and policy that the Danish government gradually has introduced since 2015. In recent years mostly Syrian refugees have been negatively affected by this policy.
Withdrawal of residence permits for some Syrian refugees has negative impact on all refugees
The policy concerns all refugees, who have been granted temporary subsidiary protection (equivalent to subsidiary protection in the Qualification Directive art. 15 (c)), because they neither fulfil the criteria for being granted refugee status according to the Refugee Convention nor subsidiary protection in the Danish Aliens Act.
DRC Danish Refugee Council (DRC) provides legal aid to asylum seekers in Denmark throughout the asylum procedure, including to refugees, who have lost their residence permits due to the Danish cessation policy.
