This decision was taken in 2018 and was upheld by the national courts. The applicant is a Moroccan national born in 1972 who entered the Netherlands in 1982. Apart from a short period in 1990, he held a residence permit allowing him to stay in the Netherlands until the impugned decision. The applicant is and has been subjected to an order for his confinement in a custodial clinic ( terbeschikkingstelling met bevel tot verpleging van overheidswege ) since this was imposed on him by the Arnhem Regional Court in 1996. QUESTIONS TO THE PARTIES Has there been a violation of the applicant’s right to respect for his private life contrary to Article   8 of the Convention?   In particular, have the domestic courts, when conducting the Article 8 proportionality assessment, carefully examined the facts, applied the human rights standards consistently with the Convention and its case-law, and adequately balanced the applicant’s personal interests against the general public interest ( Ndidi v. United Kingdom , no. 41215/14, § 76, 14 September 2017)?
