Country-condition evidence can be important in refugee claims, appeals and risk assessments. Useful research should be current, reliable and connected to the specific risk alleged by the claimant.
Research considerations
- IRB National Documentation Packages
- Government and international organization reports
- Human rights and civil-society reporting
- Regional and local conditions
- Evidence addressing state protection and internal flight alternatives
Country information does not replace the claimant’s own credible and detailed evidence.
