The Federal Administrative Court has ruled in a landmark decision that Switzerland can deport asylum seekers from Afghanistan back to their home country. This primarily affects young Afghans who must meet a specific security standard.

According to the court's announcement, the security situation in Afghanistan has improved under Taliban rule, which supports this decision. However, the circumstances must be individually assessed to ensure the legality of the repatriation.
