ABSTRACT

In this section we provide short summaries of our insights about the asylum appeals process so far, as well as ideas for how to address the challenges that these insights reveal, based on some of the practices we observed that helped to ensure that appellants could effectively take part in appeals. These are not recommendations, because we recognise that every country context is different, and that regional and court contexts also differ. Rather, we aim to provide lists, rather like menus, from which in-situ judges, European law and policymakers, national system-designers, legal representatives (for both appellants and states) and interpreters, as well as other professionals, can choose what they think might work in their own systems.
