Changed situation for displaced Ukrainians in Denmark

The government will exclude men who are subject to military service from residence under the special law – shortly after the first Ukrainian was granted asylum due to military evasion

New UNHCR recommendations to Denmark

The UN Refugee Agency raises concerns on regular review of protection needs, limited access to family reunion and neglecting statelessness

Denmark does nothing to reduce statelessness

Danish language proficiency requirements are being politically abused

The Danish Parliament excludes vulnerable refugees from gaining rights through the blatantly discriminatory use of language requirements

Crime among refugees and descendants

Danish citizens commit 8 out of 10 crimes in Denmark and crime rates among non-Western citizens has declined for the past 20 years

After the fall of Assad, many Syrians in Denmark have shown interest in returning – for a visit or permanently. But this involves many difficult considerations.
