Grounds for Asylum in the United Kingdom: Legal Materials, Case Studies, and Reflections from the Perspective of a County of Origin Expert

Abstract

This book is intended as a guide and support for legal practitioners in the field of asylum law. Each case-study deals with topics that, though extremely specific, relate to broader issues that country of origin experts often deal with: religious freedom, human slavery, integrity of the person, sexual orientation and gender identity. These topics are presented in a practical, clear and schematic manner, each chapter organised in a distinct, almost diagrammatic way, to make the reader familiar with the structure that typically characterises country of origin reports - the medium that is most used by experts - a structure that necessarily is concise and crisp.
