UNHCR's observations to Denmark's proposed amendments to the Aliens Act

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted its observations to the Danish government's proposal for amendments to the Aliens Act (Restricting the possibility of obtaining a permanent residence permit for foreigners who have actively opposed the clarification of their identity in connection with an application for a residence permit in this country).

The proposed amendments seek to limit access to a permanent residence permits for those who, during the processing of their application, for example for asylum, actively oppose clarification of their identity. The proposal states as examples: Incorrect age, name, nationality or country of origin.
