Your Gateway to Country of Origin Information
ecoi.net provides up-to-date and publicly available country of origin information with a special focus on the needs of asylum lawyers, refugee counsels and persons deciding on claims for asylum and other forms of international protection. A comprehensive search tool and country pages facilitate access to information relevant for the decision making process.
ecoi.net collects, structures and processes reports by non-governmental, governmental and international organisations, news, maps and national laws. ecoi.net also provides a sorted list of resources helpful for an additional country of origin research. Most documents are in English but many documents are also available in German and partly in French.
Search Tool
The comprehensive and user-friendly search tool allows easy access to information available on ecoi.net. The full text of almost all documents is searchable. Boolean operators, wildcards, a fuzzy search, a search for phrases as well as the possibility to group search terms allows you to specify your search query and to increase the number of results relevant for your research. You may further restrict your search to a specific source, type of document, language of document or date.

Each country page offers quick access to a selection of important documents, country-specific links, profiles & maps, as well as national laws. To go to a country page, select the country of your choice from the drop-down menu in the left hand side navigation menu.
