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

1 August 2015

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 UNHCR‘s view, the proposal introduces many substantial changes and improvements to the existing law. However, UNHCR would like to note that several important issues still require further elaboration.

The observations are available here.
