UNHCR's observations on proposal to amend the law on granting international protection in Estonia

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has submitted our observations to the Estonian government’s proposed amendments of the Estonian Act on Granting International Protection to Aliens.

UNHCR notes a number of important changes and improvements in the law proposal, but would like to take the opportunity to comment on a number of provisions in the proposal which appear not to be in line with international standards.

The observations are available here.
