BK decision / Appeal dismissed

Decision of hearing: 19th November 2008


'It is, of course, distressing for those, who have managed to escape a 'failed or failing' state, to be told that they have no right of asylum because there is no well-founded fear of persecution on return but that does not justify an attack on a lengthy cogent and clear determination on grounds which amount to no more than a complaint that the facts should have been decided differently. I would uphold the AIT's determination and dismiss this appeal.'
