This research represents the most comprehensive publicly-available comparative analysis of asylum procedure law and practice undertaken since the Asylum Procedures Directive’s (APD) adoption. The issues of credibility and evidence assessment did not form a specific topic of focus of the research. Nevertheless, in the context of the research, some limited information emerged regarding the treatment of credibility and the use of Country of Origin Information (COI) in asylum decisions. Findings and recommendations relating to credibility and evidence assessment set out in brief in the report have been collated in this document.
