ECHR ruling for Cyprus asylum seekers may embolden refugees in buffer zone. UNHCR's temporary refugee camp.
Lawyers predict more claims after 'perfect win' for two Syrian asylum seekers pushed back to Lebanon.
The Strasbourg court found that Cyprus failed to comply with the European convention on human rights and basic tenets of refugee law when the Syrians, who had been intercepted at sea, were prevented from disembarking.
An 8-year-old girl, the youngest person in the camp, is seen playing with an UNHCR personnel, Nicosia, Cyprus, on Jul. 18, 2024. A temporary refugee camp was created by the UNHCR over two months ago inside the UN buffer zone near the Cyprus University for people from Afghanistan and other countries.

An obscure island grave: fate of deadly EU migration route’s youngest victim
Case of Alhassane Bangoura in Lanzarote highlights Europe-wide failure as authorities struggle to cope with scale of deaths.
Stretching less than a metre in length and covered in the ochre-coloured soil that dots the Canary island of Lanzarote, large stones encircle the tiny mound. There is no tombstone or plaque; nothing official to signal that this is the final resting site of the infant believed to be the youngest victim of one of the world's deadliest migration routes.
Instead, two bouquets of plastic daisies adorn the grave, along with a granite bowl engraved with his name, Alhassane Bangoura, hinting at the impact his story had on many across the island. His mother, originally from Guinea, was among three pregnant women who joined 40 others in an inflatable raft that left Morocco in early January 2020. After running out of fuel, the flimsy raft was left to the mercy of Atlantic currents for three days.
So far this year, a record 35,410 migrants and refugees have arrived on the shores of the Canary Islands - a 135% increase over last year. More than 11,000 of them landed at the tiny island of El Hierro, home to just 9,000 people.
The surge in those risking the perilous route has transformed the archipelago into a microcosm of the wider strain playing out across the EU as authorities struggle to deal with the bodies of those that die on their way.

After running out of fuel, the flimsy raft was left to the mercy of Atlantic currents for three days.
So far this year, a record 35,410 migrants and refugees have arrived on the shores of the Canary Islands - a 135% increase over last year. More than 11,000 of them landed at the tiny island of El Hierro, home to just 9,000 people.
The surge in those risking the perilous route has transformed the archipelago into a microcosm of the wider strain playing out across the EU as authorities struggle to deal with the bodies of those that die on their way.

An obscure island grave: fate of deadly EU migration route’s youngest victim
Case of Alhassane Bangoura in Lanzarote highlights Europe-wide failure as authorities struggle to cope with scale of deaths.
Stretching less than a metre in length and covered in the ochre-coloured soil that dots the Canary island of Lanzarote, large stones encircle the tiny mound. There is no tombstone or plaque; nothing official to signal that this is the final resting site of the infant believed to be the youngest victim of one of the world's deadliest migration routes.
Instead, two bouquets of plastic daisies adorn the grave, along with a granite bowl engraved with his name, Alhassane Bangoura, hinting at the impact his story had on many across the island. His mother, originally from Guinea, was among three pregnant women who joined 40 others in an inflatable raft that left Morocco in early January 2020. After running out of fuel, the flimsy raft was left to the mercy of Atlantic currents for three days.
