EASO, ‘EASO Asylum Report 2021: Annual Report on the Situation of Asylum in the
European Union’, European Asylum Support Office, 2021

Abstract

As the go-to source of information on international protection in Europe, the EASO Asylum Report series provides a comprehensive overview of key developments in asylum in European Union Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland (EU+ countries). All aspects of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) are covered step by step by summarising changes to legislation, policy and practices at the European and national levels. The report presents selected case law which has shaped the interpretation of European and national laws, as well as key statistical indicators for the 2020 reference year which highlight emerging trends and the effectiveness of asylum systems.

Note: Report includes a section on “LGBTI applicants in the asylum procedure” (p. 265). Important references to the need to improve accommodation, information, procedures and decisions for SOGIESC asylum claimants. Also references to countries such as Brazil, Syria, Gambia and Iran, as well as some discussion specifically about trans refugees.
