Abstract:

This article describes and analyzes an emerging problematic in the asylum and immigration debate, which I cynically dub the “imposter-child” phenomenon. My preliminary exploration maps how the imposter-child relates to and potentially influences the politics and practices of refuge status determination in the United Kingdom. I argue that the “imposter-child” is being discursively constructed in order to justify popular and official suspicion of spontaneously arriving child asylum-seekers in favour of resettling refugees from camps abroad. I also draw connections between the discursive creation of “imposter-children” and the diminishment of welfare safeguarding for young people. Further complicating this situation is a variety of sociocultural factors in both Afghanistan and the United Kingdom, including the adversarial UK refugee status determination process, uncertainty around how the United Kingdom can“prove” an age, and a form of “triple discrimination” experienced by Afghan male youth. Through unearthing why the “imposter-child” is problematic, I also query why it is normatively accepted that non-citizens no longer deserve protection from the harshest enforcement once they “age out” of minor status.

Abstract:

AbstractThe question of whether arbitrary deprivation of nationality constitutes persecution for the purposes of a determination of refugee status has received increased attention in recent jurisprudence. However, no systematic argument has been made to date on the ordinary meaning of words, context, object and purpose of Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees as it applies to stateless refugees. This is an important question because the absence of determination procedures and a protection regime specifically for stateless persons in many jurisdictions makes refugee and/or complementary protection the only options. This article examines existing landmark judicial decisions worldwide, relevant UN documents, and academic writing on whether arbitrary deprivation of nationality, either on its own or when taken with other forms of harm, amounts to persecution within the meaning of Article 1A(2) of the 1951 Refugee Convention, and if so on what grounds. It concludes by suggesting when (arbitrary) deprivation of nationality should lead to a finding of persecution, based on good practice, and points to a global consensus on a new rights perspective concerning nationality.

Abstract:

In autumn 2005 a group of Sudanese asylum seekers and refugees discontented with the unbearable conditions in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refuges (UNHCR) office in Cairo started a sit-in protest near the office. The protesters were, besides venting their anger at the suspension of Refugee Status Determination procedures for Sudanese refugees due to the ceasefire between the Sudanese government and Sudan's People Liberation Army, also making their frustrations heard regarding UNHCR's lengthy procedures, its failure to provide them with proper assistance, the high numbers of rejected applications, improper interviews and their general treatment by UNHCR's personnel as well as their difficult social and health conditions which had been aggravated by the lack of proper assistance. They were demanding that this situation be remedied and calling for transparent and fair procedures. Shortly thereafter they were joined by many more protesters so that in the following three months a group of between 1,800 and 2,500 people stayed around UNHCR's premises. However, meetings and negotiations with UNCHR eventually failed. The crisis ended in a tragedy. On December 30, 2005 the Egyptian security forces proceeded with the forcible removal of the protesters from the venue in an action in which 28 refugees were killed, more than half of which were children and women, with several protesters missing after the events. The Cairo incident illustrates what the cited report on the events has rightly called “a tragedy of failures and false expectations” regarding international humanitarian and human rights institutions.

Abstract:

This article examines the recognition of refugee status determination, which was conducted by UNHCR, by states with a particular focus on the legal basis of UNHCR's supervisory role. Although the practices differ from state to state, most contain elements of “soft enforcement” where the issue of recognising refugee status conducted by UNHCR is discussed and is given weight. Refugee status determination is considered as the supervisory task of UNHCR. Consequently, Article 35 of the 1951 Convention is interpreted by the author, as it is the legal basis of UNHCR's supervisory responsibility and binds Contracting States to co-operate with UNHCR in particular to facilitate UNHCR's duties. Even though this is a binding obligation, the instruments, namely the UNHCR Statute and the UNHCR Handbook, for determining refugee status conducted by UNHCR merely have authoritative character. Therefore, the author evolves on the approach of a “soft enforcement” of these instruments and introduces a guidance tool, elaborated by UNHCR itself, in order to influence the decision-making process of Contracting States. Particularly those states are concerned, which are confronted with the issue of recognition of refugee status conducted by UNHCR.

Abstract:

The Refugees Act 130 of 1998 enabled South Africa to treat asylum seekers in a humanitarian and dignified manner. However, more than 20 years into democracy, the refugee status determination system, which is the responsibility of the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) is overburdened with asylum applications. The core criticism against the DHA is its failure to finalize asylum application within 180 days. The key attraction of South Africa’s asylum regime is its non-encampment policy, which bestows on an asylum seeker the right to work or study pending the outcome of the asylum application. This mini-dissertation will not focus on challenges that asylum seekers and refugees may encounter when asserting a specific entitlement. The aim is instead to highlight red flags which will assist any interested party to have a basic understanding of what refugee status determination in South Africa entails. Although refugee status determination is an administrative process, South African courts have laid down jurisprudence confirming the following: (i) At the moment a foreigner expresses an intention to apply for asylum, he or she must be afforded the opportunity to do so; (ii) Illegal entry into the state do not bar application for asylum; (iii) Equality before the law affords asylum seekers suspected of being illegal the right to appear before a competent court within 48 hours of arrest; and (iv) Asylum seekers must apply for immigration permits from abroad. Differently put, an asylum seeker may not apply for a change in status, pending adjudication of an asylum claim in South Africa. To deter illegal migration to South Africa, the DHA has done the following: (a) It unilaterally closed the Cape Town and Port Elizabeth Refugee Reception Offices (RRO’s); (b) It established a Border Management Agency to dispense with adjudication of asylum applications at a border post or point of entry; (c) It granted special dispensation work permits to asylum seekers from Southern African Development Community (SADC) countries. Refugee status determination and dissecting a persecution claim may be perceived as two different enquiries. The latter enquiry is often the subject matter of statutory tribunals and courts during judicial review proceedings. This study explains the key functions of roleplayers, their different processes and inherent functions under the umbrella of refugee status determination. It is recommended that attorneys and non-governmental organisations be allowed to actively participate, from the inception stage, in South Africa’s refugee status determination process. This will minimise the life-cycle of an asylum claim which often ends in judicial review proceedings. This forces the DHA to be accountable, transparent and to reflect on its commitment to treat asylum seekers, refugees and foreigners in good faith and dignity.

Abstract:

This thesis presents a comprehensive structural and ideological reform proposal for refugee status determination in Canada designed to advance the interests of stakeholders. We propose an alternative model for refugee determination, new approaches to fact finding and credibility assessment in the asylum context, and a shift in systemic values. The alternative refugee status determination model proposed envisions moving from a quasi-judicial initial determination body to either a wholly-judicial one, similar to the Tax Court of Canada or a para-judicial/interdisciplinary one, similar to the Tribunal administratif du Québec. New approaches to fact finding and credibility assessment have centered on the notion that truth in the asylum context is relative, not fixed, and that dialogue and unfettered refugee speech should be privileged as much as possible in the hearing room. The new systemic values advanced have been accuracy (achieved through undistorted reception of information and dissemination of high quality contextual information), efficiency (achieved through simplicity, economy and timeliness being built into adjudicative structures) and juridical sensitivity to context (achieved through appropriate selection criteria, context-specific interdisciplinary training, and the fostering of a juristic culture around asylum decision making). The proposals find their inspiration in empirical data, interdisciplinary academic thought and previous reform initiatives, and are designed to conform to the challenges inherent in refugee status determination.
La présente thèse soumet des propositions de transformations structurelles complètes et de réformes idéologiques du processus de reconnaissance du statut de réfugié au Canada. Ces propositions sont conçues pour promouvoir les intérêts des parties prenantes. Un nouveau modèle du processus de reconnaissance du statut de réfugié, de nouvelles approches en matière d'enquête et d'évaluation de la crédibilité dans le contexte de demande d'asile, ainsi qu'un changement des valeurs systémiques sont proposés dans la présente thèse. Pour modifier le processus de reconnaissance du statut de réfugié en vigueur, il est suggéré de mettre sur pied un modèle qui repose sur un organisme entièrement judiciaire, similaire à la Cour canadienne de l'impôt, ou sur un organisme parajudiciaire ou interdisciplinaire, comme le Tribunal administratif du Québec, pour remplacer l'actuel organisme quasi judiciaire chargé d'effectuer la détermination initiale. Les nouvelles approches en matière d'enquête et d'évaluation de la crédibilité sont axées sur la notion que la vérité, dans le contexte de la demande d'asile, est relative et qu'elle n'est pas établie. Dans la mesure du possible, on devrait également privilégier le dialogue et la libre parole des réfugiés dans la salle d'audience. Les nouvelles valeurs systémiques mises de l'avant sont : la précision (apportée par la réception de renseignements non faussés et par la diffusion d'informations contextuelles de haute qualité); l'efficacité (assurée par la simplicité, l'économie et la rapidité mises sur pied dans les structures d'arbitrage); et la sensibilité de l'appareil judiciaire au contexte (exprimée par la sélection de critères appropriés, par une formation interdisciplinaire propre au contexte et par la promotion d'une culture juridique entourant le processus de prise de décision en matière d'asile). Ces propositions puisent leur inspiration dans des données empiriques, des réflexions universitaires interdisciplinaires et des initiatives antérieures de réforme. Elles sont conçues pour s'adapter aux défis inhérents au processus de reconnaissance du statut de réfugié.

Abstract:

Through the evolution of international human rights law and policy, gender has become a prohibited ground for persecution. However the international definition of a refugee contained in the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees does not explicitly include gender as an enumerated ground on which persecution can be feared. This omission has required women who fear gender-based persecution to use the Convention's "membership in a particular social group" provision. Traditionally, judicial interpretation of criteria establishing a "particular social group" was not consistent in cases alleging gender-based persecution. In 1993, Canada developed guidelines that attempt to establish a coherent and consistent application of the "particular social group" category. This represents a state policy initiative to recognize the international evolution of policy on gender as a basis for persecution. Although the guidelines challenge theories of state sovereignty in the design and execution of domestic policy, they demonstrate that a coherent and consistent framework for granting asylum status to women who fear gender-based persecution can be developed in such policy.

Abstract:

In processes of refugee status determination, the applicant’s first person testimony plays a critical role. The applicant’s own testimony is often the only evidence available to support the claim being made. This thesis examines the presentation and assessment of refugee applicants’ oral testimony before the Canadian Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) and the Australian Refugee Review Tribunal (RRT). In addressing the conduct of the oral hearing, a central event within refugee status determination processes, it focuses on the critical role played by the form of refugee applicants’ oral testimony. Its central question is how does the form of refugee testimony shape assessments of refugee applicants’ evidence as credible and thus, influence who may access protection and on what terms. These questions are explored through the close reading of 14 refugee applicants’ oral hearings, which took place in Australia and Canada between 2012 and 2014. In analysing the hearings, this thesis argues that the law’s requirement for evidence that is plausible and credible within refugee status determination involves an expectation that applicants present evidence in a compelling narrative form. Using the frameworks of ‘law and literature’ and narrative theory, with attention to questions of temporality, causation and plot, this thesis demonstrates that a demand for narrative structured the oral hearings. The demand encompassed expectations that applicants present evidence marked by linearity; direct and explicable causal connections; and some sense of both ‘plot’ and closure. The hearings woven through this thesis trace how decision-makers articulated such demands and explore the extent to which the demand for narrative represents the State’s requirement that refugees to narrate themselves as particular kinds of subjects, whose complex histories and experiences of fear or harm resolve in the decision to seek refugee status.

Abstract:

2013 marks another year wrought with debate on asylum seekers and whether they are in fact refugees, fuelled by a growing number of boat arrivals and significant cost to the Australian government. The major political parties in Australia have been focused on how to ‘stop the boats’ and finding alternative ways to process claims for refugee status. Media reports since August 2012 have referred to an enhanced screening process whereby asylum seekers arriving by boat have not been given access to Australia’s refugee status determination procedures, returned to their country without sufficient assessment of any claim for asylum. The Liberal-National Coalition indicated that they will introduce expedited processing of asylum seekers, modelled on the Detained Fast Track Processes in the United Kingdom. The expedited processing of asylum seekers is one alternative to standard refugee status determination procedures. This thesis examines whether Australia can meet its international protection obligations under the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees if expedited processing procedures are introduced with the appropriate procedural safeguards. An over view of the expedited procedures in practice in the UK and the US is followed by a comparative analysis and assessment of whether procedures in the US and the UK meet international protection obligations and contain the appropriate procedural safeguards. Finally I have developed recommendations for Australia based on my analysis of the expedited procedures in the US and the UK. If expedited processing is to be implemented in Australia it should complement our current system, not replace it, and any proposal must contain comprehensive procedural safeguards.

Abstract:

Recent feminist criticism has resulted in remarkable changes to the interpretation of the refugee definition. Case law, academic commentaries and gender guidelines now recognize that women may constitute a particular social group under the definition of refugee. However, only those who belong to certain subgroups of women are usually granted asylum because being a woman only is considered too broad to comprise a particular social group. Such restrictive interpretation is theoretically and practically problematic, and it is the primary cause for the inconsistency in the interpretation of the definition of a particular social group and refugee determination in gender-based claims. Through an analysis of recent gender-based cases before the Canadian courts and the Immigration and Refugee Board, this paper argues that this inconsistency will be avoided when categorization of women does not require female claimants to prove characteristics other than their gender. Female refugees who are persecuted for being women do not need to provide additional reasons for their suffering, and this broad categorization of women should be consistently applied in Canada.

Abstract:

AbstractPublic international law and, more specifically, international human rights law protect the right to access an asylum determination procedure and the principle of non-refoulement, as established in Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-69441-8_3. Some would argue that asylum should not be seen by states as their own prerogative, but rather as a fundamental human right (Díaz Lafuente, 2014, pp. 206–207). How the right to access to asylum determination and the principle of non-refoulement are implemented varies from country to country, including within the EU, as discussed in Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-69441-8_4. Chapter 10.1007/978-3-030-69441-8_6 dissected the different procedures adopted to adjudicate SOGI claims of international protection in Germany, Italy and the UK. In this chapter, we focus on the decision itself by analysing the Refugee Status Determination (RSD) process in the three countries studied. In the process, we highlight similarities and differences, merits and shortcomings, and often inconsistencies with supranational and international standards.

Abstract:

AbstractMuch uncertainty inheres in refugee status determination and particularly credibility assessments. This chapter deals with how asylum caseworkers attempt to overcome such uncertainties in order to reach enough decisional certainty for categorising asylum seekers into one of four legal categories: refugee with asylum, refugee with temporary admission, non-refugee with temporary admission and non-refugee without temporary admission. I argue that decision-makers’ explicit “country knowledge” as well as their implicit know-how of how to carry out their tasks and their “gut feeling”—which building on Reckwitz (Zeitschrift für Soziologie 32:4: 282–301, 2003) I conceptualise as professional-practical knowledge—plays a crucial role thereby. Furthermore, this chapter shows how basing negative asylum decisions on non-credibility rather than non-eligibility to refugee status serves as a means for overcoming uncertainties inherent in asylum decision-making, leading to the (re-)production of the so-called “culture of disbelief” in asylum administration.

Abstract:

AbstractArticle 22 guarantees the substantive application of all Convention rights to the particular situation of asylum seeking and refugee children, and also guarantees them protection and assistance in advancing their immigration and residency status claims and in overcoming the hurdles posed by international migration channels, including guarantees of due process. The rights of refugee and asylum-seeking children can be analyzed in relation to four essential attributes. First of all, Article 22 insists upon appropriate protection and humanitarian assistance. Refugee children are not granted a special status under the Convention, but they are not given any lesser status. They are to be treated as children first and foremost and not as migrants per se, in the sense that national immigration policy cannot trump child rights. The basic rights to education, health, and child welfare of these children needs to be protected to the same extent, and as much as possible, as children who are nationals of the host country. The second attribute preserves the rights of refugee children not only under the Convention but under all other international human right treaties and humanitarian instruments binding on the relevant States Party. These may include, for many governments, the 1951 Refugee Convention, the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness, the Geneva Conventions and the Hague Convention for the Protection of Minors, 1961, among others. A third attribute of Article 22 insists upon the duty to protect and assist refugee children. This entails a clear duty to provide children with appropriate due process rights throughout their asylum and refugee claims procedures, including the child’s right to be heard and participate in all the processes determining the child’s residence or immigration status, border admission, deportation, repatriation, detention, alternative measures, or placement, including best interest determination processes. The fourth and final attribute of Article 22 asserts that two basic principles should guide each activity with the refugee child: the best interests of the child and the principle of family unity.

Abstract:

AbstractThis chapter provides an outline of how the Swiss asylum procedure works. It contextualises the current asylum procedure within the history of asylum politics in Switzerland since the 1950s and within broader global developments. Three major trends are discussed: the sharp decline of the recognition rate since the 1980s and with it the emergence of the so-called “fight against abuse”, the proliferation of legal categories and the frequent changes made to asylum law in this same time period, and the development of an ever more specialised asylum administration in Switzerland. The chapter introduces readers to the Swiss Secretariat for Migration (SEM) and its organisational structure as it existed until 2019, the main elements of asylum law that structure SEM officials’ decision-making and to the particular standard of proof in refugee status determination.

Abstract:

Two major new Waste-To-Energy (WTE) Projects have received Air Construction Permits under the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program during the past two years and a third is scheduled to receive its permit prior to NAWTEC 20. These new facilities are being required to operate with significantly lower emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and other major air pollutants than similar existing US facilities. This paper will explore the permitting process on these three projects and the divergent approaches being taken by the applicants to meet the stringent emission requirements imposed by the PSD permits. The Palm Beach County (Florida) Renewable Energy Facility No. 2 (PBREF No. 2) will be a three unit, 3,000 ton per day (tpd) mass burn facility which will utilize Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems similar to that used in many recent European WTE facilities for NOx control. The Fairfield (Maryland) Renewable Energy (Fairfield) and Aercibo (Puerto Rico) Renewable Energy (Aercibo) Projects are each two unit, 2,106 tpd Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) facilities which will utilize regenerative SCR (RSCR®) systems. This will be the first time RSCR® has been used in a WTE application. All three permits require achievement of a NOx emission rate of 45 parts per million by volume at 7% O2 dry basis (ppmvd). PBREF No. 2 and Fairfield received PSD permits from delegated state programs prior to the new Greenhouse Gas (GHG) and condensable PM2.5 permitting rules going into effect at the beginning of 2011. Aercibo is being permitted by United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region II and will reflect new GHG and condensable PM2.5 permitting rules. This paper discusses the approach to the Best Available Control Technology (BACT) and Lowest Achievement Emission Rate (LAER) determinations and differences in final permit requirements.
