Evidence calibrated to the individual question
Assessment identifies the relevant actor, profile, location, and period. It distinguishes isolated discrimination from cumulative serious harm and tests whether official remedies are practical for the individual profile.
Country evidence informs the tribunal's assessment. It does not determine credibility or make the ultimate legal finding.
Analytical boundary
Questions commonly addressed
- Is the asserted profile visible to state or non-state actors?
- What pattern of treatment is documented in the relevant area?
