The May edition of the Fahamu Refugee Legal Aid Newsletter has just been published, and features an
article by Clare Cochrane and Jane Herlihy on how understanding psychology canhelp make asylum decisions fairer.
The article is an introduction not only to CSEL’s key research in this area,
but also to psycho-legal issues more generally, and while CSEL’s work addresses
the UK asylum system, the article raises wider issues that apply to asylum and
sanctuary-seeking anywhere.
The Fahamu Refugee Legal Aid Network
is part of Fahamu, an organisation that supports
social justice networks across Africa and internationally. The newsletter is
read by legal practitioners and others working on refugee and asylum issues
around the world, with a particular focus on sharing knowledge and experience
among practitioners who don’t have easy access to academic institutions or
professional networks.
