It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: x A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm x The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules x The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules x A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) x A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory x A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and x If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • Joint Report: Syrian Archive & Bellingcat & Syrians for Truth and Justice
    Joint Report: Syrian Archive & Bellingcat & Syrians for Truth and Justice About Syrian Archive The Syrian Archive is a Syrian-led initiative striving to promote sustainable peace and respect for human rights within Syrian society through facilitating justice and accountability efforts. This includes evidence gathering and documentation of incidents; the acknowledgment that war crimes and human rights violations have been committed by all parties to the conflict; the identification of perpetrators to end the cycle of impunity; and the development of a process of justice and reconciliation. Through collecting, verifying, curating and investigating visual content, the Syrian Archive aims to preserve data as a digital memory to establish a database of human rights violations, and to act as a tool for legally implementing justice and accountability efforts as concept and practice in Syria. Since its founding in 2014, the Syrian Archive has collaborated with organisations including Human Rights Watch (HRW), Amnesty International, University of California at Berkeley and the University of Essex, Witness, Bellingcat and various agencies of the United Nations (UN), specifically the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic. 1 Joint Report: Syrian Archive & Bellingcat & Syrians for Truth and Justice About Bellingcat Bellingcat uses open source and social media investigation to investigate a variety of subjects, from Mexican drug lords to conflicts being fought across the world.

  • Treasurer Fiona Ma's 2019 Year-End Review
    Fiona Ma, CPA Treasurer State of California December 19, 2019 Dear Friends, The science fiction writer William Gibson, who created the term “cyberspace,” is also credited with observing that “… the future is already here, it’s just not distributed evenly.” That’s also a good way to describe one of the overarching goals of my administration as California’s 34th Treasurer – which is to recognize the future and make sure it is distributed evenly. As the State Treasurer for the world’s fifth largest economy, I take my job very seriously and thank the 7.8 million voters who elected me on November 6, 2018. I was sworn-in on January 8, 2019 and am fortunate to work with 450 highly motivated, ethical, and trained professionals at the State Treasurer’s Office (STO). And although I don’t mention specific people by name here, I want to personally thank my dedicated team at the STO for safeguarding our public funds and serving our constituents with distinction. SERVING AS THE STATE’S BANKER All taxes, fines, fees, interest, and penalties come through my office. That totals more than $2 trillion each year. Pursuant to State law, the State Treasurer serves as agent for sale on all State bonds. For example, from July to December, the STO sold $7.65 billion of bonds, including: $4.23 billion of voter-approved general obligation bonds, including $1.74 billion for new projects and $2.49 billion of refunding bonds. The refunding bonds will save the State’s General Fund $883 million over the next 20 years, or $742.6 million on a present value basis.
