Welcome to the March 2009 issue of The Researcher.
In this issue David Leonard BL looks at the importance of medical evidence in the asylum process and he provides some recent case law on this. Also on a medical theme we have also included some excerpts from research on errors of recall by asylum seekers including those who have suffered from trauma and in a separate piece of research Patrick Dowling looks at consanguineous marriage and attitudes to disability in some Arabic cultures. On a different theme James O’Sullivan, who provides both domestic and international COI training, writes here on the critical issue of source assessment in COI Research. Jonathan Tomkin provides some advice on litigating effectively before the ECJ. Claire Bennett of Asylum Aid has summarised her recently published book, Relocation, Relocation – The impact of internal relocation on women asylum seekers. We publish UNHCR’s statement on the important Elgafaji judgment at the European Court of Justice. John Stanley BL includes a summary of Elgafaji in his update on recent developments in refugee and immigration Law. And Sr Breege Keenan writes about the Vincentian Refugee Centre – the first Drop-in-Centre of its kind in Ireland to respond to the needs of asylum seekers and refugees.
