• Keira Alexandra Kronvold won a High Court ruling that the removal of her newborn daughter Zammi was illegal and breached fundamental Indigenous rights.
  • The Danish government banned FKU parental competence tests for people of Greenlandic background in May 2025, but dozens of Greenlandic parents remain separated from their children.
  • The ruling cites the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention of 1989 and is expected to have substantial repercussions for Greenlandic parents and separated children dating back to 1996.
  • Lawyer Gert Dyrn said the ruling could help other women nullify removal decisions and allow adult Greenlanders to seek an apology or compensation.
  • The United Nations told Denmark that authorities’ treatment of Kronvold ‘may amount to ethnic discrimination’.
