Internal relocation expert reports assess whether internal relocation within the country of origin is viable and reasonable as an alternative to international protection.
Experts apply UNHCR and tribunal standards to assess security at the proposed destination, clan and family connections, economic subsistence, and gender-specific barriers.
Dedicated internal relocation analysis may be instructed separately in complex cases or integrated into country condition reports.
