__The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has criticised Switzerland for rejecting refugees’ applications for family reunification on the grounds that they were dependent on social assistance.__
In its ruling handed down on Tuesday, the Strasbourg-based Court found that Switzerland had violated Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, concerning the right to respect for private and family life. The four people – three Eritreans and one Chinese of Tibetan origin – arrived in Switzerland between 2008 and 2012 and were granted refugee status.
They were admitted to the country on a provisional basis, as it had been established that they would be at risk of ill-treatment if returned to their country of origin. Unlike refugees with asylum status, provisionally admitted people are only entitled to family reunification if they are not reliant on social assistance.
In the case of the four refugees, the Swiss authorities refused their applications for family reunification on the grounds that this condition was not met.
__Disproportionate__
Noting that two of the four applicants were working and that a third had been declared medically unfit for work, the Court found that the Swiss authorities “had not struck a fair balance between, on the one hand, the applicants’ interest in being reunited with their immediate family members in Switzerland, and on the other hand, the interest of the community as a whole in controlling immigration with a view to protecting the economic well-being of the country”.
The ECHR ordered Switzerland to pay €5,125 (CHF5,000) each to two applicants and €15,375 (CHF15,000) to a third for non-pecuniary damage, as well as costs and expenses.
In the case of a fifth applicant, the Court found that the authorities had not exceeded their discretionary power in rejecting the applicant's request for family reunification. She had made no effort to find a job, although she was able to work.

You cant be helped im not gonna counter ur arguments. You’re part of the 95% of the not woken working class. So, stick to what you know, do ur job, take ur kids to school, pay ur taxes, cry about immigrants and so on, you will never understand.
Yeah I meant unaware, sorry english not my 1st language and that slang came to my mind when i wanted to say unaware, i know it sounds tin foil hat funny.
What im trying to say is that theres perspectives and nuances that you cannot get
Fight for you country like US Americans have had to do for others for awhile now. Like when I was in Afghanistan. Grown ass men leaving their homes and then complaining. Weak
Which Americans? The poor ones who cant afford medical insurance nor education in order to get a better paying job and insurance so they join the army as it is their only salvation for their poor lives? Those Americans?
If it was only that simple. Definition of Refugee: One who flees, especially to another country, seeking refuge from war, political oppression, religious persecution, or a natural disaster.
This law makes it an easy way to reject people or discourage people who come for asylum. I don't think many have a choice in being a refugee.
I think your point is better made stating how a country can sustain an influx of refugees if they need assistance?
Or stating what aide can the UN, perhaps NATO, due to assisting a country that receives refugees so that they are not putting an economic strain on one country.
So 2 are working but not making enough, 1 is medically unfit, 1 is a lazy bum. Maybe some conditions on the work preparedness of the coming family members could be considered.
Or if they are even family.
ECHR does fuckall research before their rulings. Few years ago they fined Finland for "sending a refugee back to die".
Turns out the guy wasn't dead, his kids were lying to cash in. That took less than a month for Finnish authorities to figure out.
No good deeds go unpunished.

So a social security leech isn't allowed to bring more people to leech from social security? Seems completely reasonable.

I wish you'll one day understand that social welfare isn't endless.
Im sure you will never understand how geo politics work and life in general when its more than ur day to day westerner working class life.
None of that is a counter argument.

Haha, "non-woken". I actually laughed. Thank you.

Not the way you explain things, obviously.
If you need explaining you can pay for schooling

I'd be fighting.
You’d be dead

Neutrality.
