What is COI?

With Country of Origin Information (COI) we refer to information regarding human rights, security situation etc, in a given Country. This information is helpful to beef up cases for asylum procedures or to appeal decisions of refusal.

Why is COI important?

COI is becoming more and more relevant in law cases. We are noticing a development in the asylum procedure, and this information is taking up more space and importance. In some cases, it is crucial to change the result of a procedure or appeal. For this reason, we believe that COI should be included in international protection procedures.
