Country Report: First country of asylum
Last updated: 30/11/20
The Procedure Decree provides for the “first country of asylum” concept as a ground for inadmissibility (see Admissibility Procedure). The Territorial Commission declares an asylum application inadmissible where the applicant has already been recognised as a refugee by a state party to the 1951 Refugee Convention and can still enjoy such projection.[1] The “first country of asylum” concept has not been used in practice.
