(06.09.2023) The Grand Chamber of the National Asylum Court (CNDA) ruled on September 6, 2023, that Russian nationals who refuse partial mobilisation or forced recruitment as part of the war in Ukraine must be granted refugee status, as they would be induced to commit such crimes directly or indirectly due to the large-scale commission of war crimes by the Russian armed forces. However, they would have to prove that they are actually at risk of being recruited for the war.
