COMMON ANALYSIS
Last update: November 2024
While the conclusions under this common analysis provide general guidance, the protection needs of each applicant should be examined individually. The non-exhaustive lists of risk-impacting circumstances, which would increase or decrease the risk of persecution, are to be taken into account.
The considerations under each profile should, furthermore, be viewed without prejudice to the credibility assessment of the applicant’s claims. This common analysis deals solely with issues of risk analysis and qualification.
For each profile, the guidance responds to the following questions:
|
Step 1: Do the reported acts qualify as persecution? |
|
This part provides examples of acts reported to be committed against individuals belonging to the profile as well as guidance on whether such acts would reach the level of persecution according to Article 9 QD/QR. |
|
Step 2: What is the level of risk of persecution? |
|
This part assesses how likely it is for applicants within the profile to have a well-founded fear of persecution. Further guidance is provided with regard to the circumstances which should be taken into account in the individual assessment, addressing also how they would impact the risk. |
|
Step 3: Is there a ground for persecution? |
|
This part provides guidance on whether in case of established well-founded fear of persecution, this would be connected to a reason falling within the provision of Article 10 QD/QR (nexus). |
Relevant COI is also included in the analysis to substantiate the assessment provided. Links to the relevant EUAA COI reports and/or queries are also added.
