Asylum Procedures

This final rule amends the Department of Justice regulations implementing the provisions of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), governing asylum claims. Additionally, this rule amends portions of the regulations governing cases in which an applicant has established past persecution or in which an applicant may be able to avoid persecution in a particular country by relocating to another area of that country. Finally, the rule identifies factors that may be considered in the exercise of discretion in asylum cases in which the alien has established past persecution but may not have a well-founded fear of future persecution. This final rule will ensure that asylum applications are processed in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act (Act), as amended by IIRIRA, as well as with international instruments.
