Prima facie determination of refugee status Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE REFUGEE STATUS DETERMINATION PROCEDURES INTERNATIONAL LAW IMMIGRATION LAW CONVENTION RELATING TO THE STATUS OF REFUGEES The vast majority of refugees in the world at present have attained their refugee status as a result of a refugee status determination ('RSD') on a prima facie basis. Despite its widespread use, the legal foundation of RSD on a prima facie basis ('PFRSD') has received very little attention and equally little discussion has occurred as to what, if anything, makes it unique. The legal commentary that exists on RSD focuses on individualised RSD rather than PFRSD and is therefore out of keeping with the RSD experience of most refugees. This paper seeks to redress this and to explore the legal implications and legal foundation of PFRSD. 2026-09-30T11:43:10Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33351933.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Prima_facie_determination_of_refugee_status/33351933 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
