Because you deserve the best

Together we promote the realization of human rights and the position of refugees in the countries [nu) law is present. This partnership has enabled the Refugee Centre to take more cases to supranational courts than it otherwise would have.

We advise regularly on asylum claims and offer a comprehensive service for those who are seeking safety as a refugee or for humanitarian protection.

Working with our criminal team and partners, we have particular international protection expertise in assisting individuals subject to extradition with making asylum claims. You may fear that the charges against you in your home country are politically motivated or that you will be subject to torture, inhumane or degrading conditions if detained following extradition. This can form the basis of an asylum claim.

You may have already decided that you need to claim asylum or make a human rights application. Alternatively, you may need advice on the options open to you.

Whatever stage you are at, we can advise you about how you may wish to proceed as well as preparing a thorough application for you, if appropriate.

We also regularly assist with appeals and judicial reviews against refusals of human rights applications as well as challenging refusals of asylum.

We will investigate your human rights and/or asylum claim thoroughly and help you gather supporting evidence. This may include working with independent experts to obtain objective supporting evidence.We know the process, particularly of claiming asylum, can be a stressful one and at times may take you out of your comfort zone.

We will be with you at every stage of the process, ensuring you understand what is happening and challenging the local and international authorities as appropriate.
