The aim of this module is to enable officials working on asylum procedures to be aware of the different types of cases from different countries.

This module deals with the identification of potential exclusion cases in the context of Article 1F of the 1951 Refugee Convention and Article 12(2) and Article 17 of the Qualification Directive. It focuses specifically on cases where a person could potentially be considered undeserving of international protection.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Explain the role of identification in the exclusion process, and the rationale and objectives behind exclusion from international protection

2. Identify excludable acts and potential actors in the context of international protection procedures

3. Recognise the relevant information that triggers further examination against exclusion clauses

This module is delivered through a blended learning methodology (online and face-to-face). Online learning contains learning activities that assess progress toward the learning outcomes, and the face-to-face session focuses on complex elements that require discussion.

This module will be upgraded as part of the restructuring of the European Asylum Curriculum.
