Joined Cases C-391/16, C-77/17 and C-78/17 | M v Ministerstvo vnitra, X and X v Commissaire général aux réfugiés et aux apatrides

Summary:

The provisions of the Refugee Directive relating to the revocation of and refusal to grant refugee status on grounds connected with the protection of the security or the community of the host Member State are valid. The effect of the revocation of or refusal to grant refugee status is neither that a person who has a well-founded fear of persecution in his or her country of origin is not a refugee, nor that he or she does not have the rights which the Geneva Convention attaches to being a refugee.
