Access to Documents by Eritrean Refugees in the Context of Family Reunification

IRAP and our partners at Equal Rights Beyond Borders commissioned this expert report, which clarifies which official documents Eritrean refugees are able to obtain from Eritrean authorities in order to successfully apply for family reunification in the European Union. The findings of the report require urgent consideration in Eritrean family reunification procedures, both by the embassies of the EU member states responsible for these procedures and by the national courts.
