Procedural Posture

Refugee Claim / Final Decision

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Identity and country of reference determination
  2. 2 Whether claimant established nexus to Convention grounds (ethnicity, religion, political opinion)
  3. 3 Credibility of claimant's testimony and supporting documents

Ratio Decidendi

On the balance of probabilities the claimant established birth in Tibet and lack of Indian citizenship rights, making China the sole country of reference; claimant credibly demonstrated nexus to Convention grounds (Tibetan ethnicity, Buddhist religion, political opinion) and, based on credible objective country evidence, showed state protection in China would be unavailable and no internal flight alternative exists; therefore the claimant is a Convention refugee.

Court Disposition

Claim accepted; claimant found to be a Convention refugee.
