Welcome to the March 2010 issue of The Researcher
At the end of a long cold winter comes the first issue for 2010 of ‘The Researcher’.
In his article, Colin Smith B.L. addresses the area of ‘International Humanitarian Law in Subsidiary Protection Applications’. James Healy B.L. discusses the issue of ‘The Rights of Minors to be Heard in Asylum Cases’. Pierrot Ngadi of the Congolese Anti-Poverty Network gives an overview of the current situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) from a political, economic and human rights perspective. Refugee Legal Service Solicitor Elena Hernandez provides a case study, which raises the issue of ‘Domestic Violence and Access to Protection’.
Recent developments in Refugee and Immigration Law are highlighted with case summaries from Mary Fagan of the Refugee Documentation Centre and finally, a selection of UNHCR photographs showing the conditions faced by asylum seekers ‘Braving the Cold in Calais’.
