ARC Foundation provides country reports to support individual asylum claims for use in representations to the UK Home Office, the UK Immigration and Asylum Chambers and to international refugee decision making bodies. In AK, the Tribunal determined that “there may be a useful role in country guidance cases for reports by COI (Country of Origin) analysts/consultants” such as ARC (headnote A (iv) and para. 178) and considered that ARC consultants have the “relevant skills and experience to undertake this work” (para. 178).
