This chapter explains the handling of kafāla-cases in the Netherlands, including the respective case law and migration legal framework. A change in policy in 2013 is noted, whereby kafāla is no longer handled in the same way as adoption but, with some caution, in a similar way to foster care measures. The Dutch policy on the recognition of kafāla is assessed as generally cohesive and in line with applicable international instruments. However, concerns are also raised about the use of kafāla to circumvent adoption and immigration policies and regulations.

摘要

This chapter explains the handling of kafāla-cases in the Netherlands, including the respective case law and migration legal framework. A change in policy in 2013 is noted, whereby kafāla is no longer handled in the same way as adoption but, with some caution, in a similar way to foster care measures. The Dutch policy on the recognition of kafāla is assessed as generally cohesive and in line with applicable international instruments. However, concerns are also raised about the use of kafāla to circumvent adoption and immigration policies and regulations.
