The Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe examined the execution of the European Court of Human Rights judgment in Camara v. Belgium. The case highlighted a systemic failure to enforce judicial decisions ordering the State to provide accommodation and material support to asylum-seekers. While some progress has been made in freeing up reception places and improving operational support, concerns persist over reductions in capacity and the risk to the rule of law. The Committee urged the Belgian authorities to adopt sustainable measures and provide detailed information on enforcement.

In response to a recent call by several European Heads of State to reinterpret the European Convention on Human Rights, six Belgian human rights institutions have voiced strong concerns. They warn that such initiatives risk undermining the authority and independence of the European Court of Human Rights. The institutions urge the Belgian federal government to remain consistent with its international commitments and to clearly reaffirm its support for the Court and the Convention.

In het 2024 Rule of Law Report, in het landenhoofdstuk over de rechtsstaat in België, beveelt de Europese Commissie aan dat België stappen onderneemt om ervoor te zorgen dat overheidsinstanties definitieve uitspraken van nationale rechtbanken en het Europees Hof voor de Rechten van de Mens naleven. Hierbij wordt met name gewezen op vonnissen die de staat verantwoordelijk houden voor het niet bieden van adequate opvang aan asielzoekers.
