Libyan nationals in the United Kingdom: geo-political considerations and trends in asylum and return Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE POLITICS ASYLUM RETURN GOVERNMENT POLICY HUMAN RIGHTS This study establishes a profile of Libyans currently in the UK and examines existing case law and Home Office guidelines to explain the conditions under which Libyans have been granted or refused asylum and subsequently removed from the UK to Libya. The main finding of this study is that the imperative of security cooperation has increased the likelihood that more Libyan migrants will be returned from the UK and this poses a worrying scenario, especially given Libya's record of refoulement and other human rights abuses. In the absence of a system for dealing with asylum inside Libya, returning Libyan nationals and transit migrants from neighbouring African countries are particularly vulnerable. 2026-09-30T11:45:05Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33353202.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Libyan_nationals_in_the_United_Kingdom_geo-political_considerations_and_trends_in_asylum_and_return/33353202 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
