Summary

Original text of the question(s):<br /> <br /> To what extent does the Federal Government want to adhere to the requirements for proof of identity for Eritrean refugees, which, in my opinion, are one of the biggest hurdles for family reunification with Eritrean refugees recognized in Germany, because those concerned are required to provide a state Eritrean birth certificate or an Eritrean IDCard or other official documents To obtain identity clarification, to obtain this they must first contact a foreign mission of their persecutor state and sign a so-called "declaration of remorse" as well as pay a "diaspora tax" of 2 percent of their net income (see Corinna Ujkaević: Proof of identity when family reunification with recognized refugees. Legal limits of identity clarification using the example of Eritreans refugees. In: Asylmagazin 7-8/2020, S. 205 to 214), and what conclusions does the federal government draw from a recent ruling by the Hanover Administrative Court (Az. 12 A 2452/19), according to which the condition of the Eritrean state attaching a "declaration of remorse" to issuing a passport is unreasonable if Eritrean nationals can credibly and comprehensibly demonstrate that this declaration to her "inner will" is contradicted, since the compulsion to express a conviction that is not one's own represents an unjustified interference with the general right of personality, and according to which obtaining a passport could also be unreasonable if it is proven that the collection of the so-called "diaspora tax" and its amount is carried out on an arbitrary basis, and according to which, in addition, state persecution is a "too". "considering aspect" within the framework of Section 5 of the Residence Ordinance?
