Subsidiary Protection in UK Law

Leading Cases
  • HH & others (Mogadishu: armed conflict: risk)
    • Asylum and Immigration Tribunal
    • 22 November 2007

    The Tribunal received considerable oral and written submissions on one particular issue of subsidiary protection, as provided in Chapter V of Council Directive 2004/83/EC (“the Qualification Directive”): the risk of suffering the form of serious harm identified in article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive, namely, a serious and individual threat to a civilian's life or person by reason of indiscriminate violence in situations of international or internal armed conflict.

    (25) It is necessary to introduce criteria on the basis of which applicants for international protection are to be recognised as eligible for subsidiary protection. Those criteria should be drawn from international obligations under human rights instruments and practices existing in Member States.

  • HM and Others (Article 15(c)
    • Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber)
    • 12 October 2012

    These can properly be regarded as indiscriminate in the sense that, albeit they may have specific or general targets, they inevitably expose the ordinary civilian who happens to be at the scene to what has been described in argument as collateral damage. The means adopted may be bombs, which can affect others besides the target, or shootings, which produce a lesser but nonetheless real risk of collateral damage.

    Our primary focus in these appeals is strictly confined to Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive, and a discrete issue relating to risk on return to BIAP. However, since this case deals with the current situation in Iraq it will inevitably be a reference point for decision-makers deciding asylum-related appeals brought by Iraqis that are not confined to the Article 15(c) issue.

  • FA (Iraq) v Secretary of State for the Home Department
    • Court of Appeal (Civil Division)
    • 18 June 2010

    Mr Payne submitted that a claim under the Directive is dissimilar from the domestic claim under the Refugee Convention and the different approach to the two which follows from the construction of section 83 of the 2002 Act is justified. The exercise of that right cannot be deferred compulsorily until a decision which comes within the scope of section 82 of the 2002 Act has been made.

    The rights of a refugee, as now provided in national law, and the rights of a person with subsidiary protection status, as provided by the Directive are in many respects similar. They are sufficiently similar, in my judgment, to require national law to provide the person seeking international protection of that kind to have the same remedy of recourse to an independent tribunal against an adverse decision of the Secretary of State as has a person seeking international protection as a refugee.

  • AK (Afghanistan) v Secretary of State for the Home Department
    • Upper Tribunal (Immigration and Asylum Chamber)
    • 15 March 2012

    Second, to skip over refugee eligibility would be to lend support to the misconception that persons fleeing armed conflict cannot fall within the Article 1A(2) Refugee Convention definition. That has never been so, even if there has been recurrent hesitation about the criteria that should apply to such cases: see AM & AM (armed conflict: risk categories) Somalia CG [2008] UKAIT 00091, paras 17, 68.
