N/A

The aim of this module is to prepare asylum case officers with the knowledge and skills required to assess the possible application of these exclusion clauses within procedures for the determination of eligibility for international protection.

This module focuses on the application of Article 1F of the 1951 Refugee Convention and Articles 12(2) and 17 of the Qualification Directive and reflects the most recent developments in the field.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

1. Identify the relevant legal frameworks applicable to exclusion from international protection

2. Determine the elements that constitute exclusion clauses in the context of refugee and subsidiary protection

3. Establish the material facts and evidence in the context of the legal provisions applicable to potential exclusion cases

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 face-to-face sessions focus on complex elements that require discussion.

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