In Belgium, over 2,500 people seeking international protection remain destitute due to the government’s ongoing refusal to provide accommodation and essential services, a policy that has been in place since 2021. Many of these individuals, primarily single men, are left without shelter, forced to sleep on the streets, in makeshift tents, or in squats. Despite more than 10,000 domestic court rulings ordering the government to provide adequate reception, the Belgian government has continually ignored these legally binding judgments. The federal government must act immediately to provide reception, end this self-inflicted rule of law crisis and uphold Belgium’s international human rights obligations.
