The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) delivered this Tuesday its judgment on the case of N.D. and
N.T. vs Spain, concerning two sub-Saharan migrants who, having
crossed the fence of the border of Melilla (Spanish territory in the
African continent), were immediately returned to Morocco as migrants.
The ECtHR has condemned Spain on the grounds that the applicants were in
Spanish territory and therefore this action represents a collective
expulsion, which violates the prohibition of summary expulsions and the
right to an effective remedy.
