IRB – Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (Author)
An information officer with the Ministry of
Justice of the Nederlands, which is in charge of the
refugee-determination system in that country, states that there has
not been any change in the Dutch policy towards Palestinian refugee
claimants in the recent past (17 Aug. 1994). The information
officer maintains that there was no change in the Dutch policy
towards Palestinian refugee claimants in 1992 either. The source
adds, however, that a new law affecting all refugee claimants will
be put in force this year.
This response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
