Conclusion
There is no definition in ECAT of what could be considered as “grounds of public order”. GRETA notes that “the grounds of public order should always be interpreted on a case-by-case basis, and it is not possible to automatically disqualify a victim from access to the recovery and reflection period on the basis that the person has violated migration laws. The grounds of public order are intended to apply in very exceptional circumstances and cannot be used by States Parties to circumvent their obligation to provide access to the recovery and reflection period.”148
