Rados Djurovic, Executive Director Asylum Protection Center (Serbia)

Expand

“Asylos staff was highly professional and responsive. They reacted and responded to our call for support in spite of extremely narrow deadlines, understanding the importance of the ECtHR cases for the concrete individual but also for the EU/European future asylum and human rights legal practice. Your report helped us a lot in order to supply our observations with the appropriate sources. Without your report we would not be able to support some of our arguments in the pleadings. Besides, we couldn’t find local sources in Arabic having in mind that we couldn’t read nor speak Arabic ourselves.”

"I can’t say enough how much I appreciate your project and efforts. It seems like you’re working with the best researchers and experts in the field. This information is invaluable, both thanks to the quotes and references, but also because it explains very well why there is very little information on the subject."

Myriam Thomas, Lawyer at the Paris Bar, Cabinet Thomas (France)

"Asylos has a reputation, which is proof of its credibility. Judges ask for Asylos’s reports copies and I always share it with them... Asylos is the perfect match between the mastery of a language and the understanding of law... Your researchers understand what I am talking about, they understand law, especially refugee law and the concept of jurisdiction. For lawyers, this is a blessing."

"Asylos’s work functions as great legal aid, especially because we do not always have the time to do the research that is necessary, so your fact finding is very appreciated and makes the claims credible."

"Asylos’s research has been extremely helpful in supporting asylum seekers prove the merits of their claims, in particular with complex cases or where there is no legal aid available... Asylos’s researchers have regional expertise and language skills and are thus in a great position to access information on a range of different cases."

Eleni Velivasaki, Refugee Support Aegean (Greece)

Expand

"I consistently make use of Asylos' expansive database and have even requested several tailored reports myself. Compiling this information on my own would require much more work than I have time for. Asylos takes the work off my hands and gives me invaluable time for meeting with vulnerable clients and preparing briefs."
