The supreme Court of Cassation
on Wednesday ruled that in order to issue a stay permit for
humanitarian reasons, the fact that a migrant is socially and
economically integrated into Italian society is not enough, and
credible evidence of human rights violations in the home country
is also required.
The ruling affirms an appeal by the Italian interior ministry
filed during Matteo Salvini's tenure that maintained stay
permits couldn't be issued on the basis of integration alone,
but that the "specific compromise" of human rights in the
migrant's country of origin must also be taken into
consideration.
