Assessing asylum claims in Africa: missing or meeting standards? Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE ASYLUM SEEKERS REFUGEES REFUGEE STATUS DETERMINATION PROCEDURES PROTECTION CSR51 CSRP67 INTERNATIONAL LAW This article reviews the process by which asylum applications are decided in Africa and seeks to relate these proceedings to established due process guarantees. Focus is placed on the adjudication of refugee claims in general, and those in Africa in particular, because literature in this area has failed to give sufficient consideration to this subject. Using Kenya and Egypt as case studies, it is argued that the procedures used by UNHCR - the principal international authority responsible for the protection of asylum seekers and refugees - to determine refugee claims fall short of international standards in many ways. 2026-09-30T11:45:29Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33353661.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Assessing_asylum_claims_in_Africa_missing_or_meeting_standards_/33353661 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
