Observations from UNHCR on Lithuanian law proposal on access to asylum procedure

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted our observations to the Lithuanian government’s proposed amendments to the Lithuanian Aliens Law.

The proposal introduces restrictions on the access to apply for asylum in Lithuania, for instance regarding the court’s obligation to examine negative decisions in terms of fact and law.

In the observations UNHCR provides a set of concrete recommendations.

The observations are available here.
