COMMON ANALYSIS
Last update: April 2024
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.
For the purposes of this document, the analysis focuses on the possibility of applying IPA with regard to Damascus city - the capital and the most important economic centre in Syria.
