UNHCR’s Concerns
• Divergences in standards of proof
• Decisions not explicit re. evidence accepted or
rejected, and standard applied
• Deduced from the decision: high standard of
proof applied
• Assumptions and stereotypes
• Use of applicant’s demeanour in credibility
assessments
• No opportunity to comment on adverse
credibility findings
• Not well-reasoned decisions
