COMMON ANALYSIS
Last updated: June 2022
The first step in the analysis of IPA is to identify a particular part of the country with regard to which the criteria of Article 8 QD would be examined in the individual case. Existing ties with the place, such as previous stay or residence and/or availability of a support network could, for example, be taken into account when focusing on a particular part of the country.
When identifying the part of the country to be considered for IPA, the case officer should take into account the ethno-religious background of the applicant and the region they originate from.
In general:
- For individuals of Kurdish ethnicity IPA would be considered in KRI.
- For Arab applicants, IPA would be assessed with regard to other parts of Iraq.
- In the case of ethno-religious minorities, IPA should primarily be assessed with regard to the region where their communities are concentrated.
The examples of Baghdad, Basrah and Sulaymaniyah are selected as important economic centres in Iraq.
