About this statute

This provision creates a National Council for Refugees and gives it power to handle and review refugee issues, then rule on them. This provision establishes a National Refugee Council and sets out the Executive Secretary’s duties, including coordination, reporting, transmitting asylum files, and notifying applicants of decisions. This article sets out the functions of the National Council for Refugees. The National Refugee Council must carry out refugee policy, monitor refugee and returnee rights, decide asylum applications, withdraw refugee status for non-compliance, prepare a budget, report to the Minister, and coordinate related actors. The text also mentions a 30-day decision deadline for the Republic’s High Court. A refugee-status applicant who feels harmed by the Refugees Council’s decision may take the matter to the High Court within 15 working days after the refusal is notified.
