Observations from UNHCR on Estonia’s revised law proposal to amend the law on granting international protection

1 March 2016

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted our observations to the Estonian government’s revised law proposal amending the Act on Granting International Protection to Aliens and other related laws.

In 2015, UNHCR submitted comments on the proposed amendments twice. While UNHCR notes the positive changes and improvements in the revised proposal, a number of crucial points require further elaboration.

The observations are available here.
