HANSEN vs. The NETHERLANDS

APPEAL COURT OF JUSTICE CURACAO

Theme: Freedom of Movement within former Netherlands Antilles

After the break-up of the former Netherlands Antilles there is no freedom of movement and residence anymore between the constituent islands. Neither is there freedom of movement for all Dutch nationals between the Netherlands and the former Neth. Antilles.

This case aims to remove all existing restrictions of freedom of movement and residence between the islands as well as between the islands and the Netherlands, arguing that they are all violations of art. 12 of the (UN) International Covenant on Civil and Political Rigts as well as similar provisions of the European Convention of Human Rights.

We publish this case as from the Notice of Appeal. All previous Court Documents and the Judgment in First Instance are attached to the Notice of Appeal.
