Information on the above-mentioned topic is
provided in the attached copy of a UNHCR legal factsheet on the
Spanish refugee determination system. According to the UNHCR
representative in Madrid, amendments to the Spanish Law on
Asylum, 5/84 were adopted on 13 June 1994 (20 Jul. 1994). The
UNHCR representative faxed the Spanish version of these amendments
to the DIRB, and this document is available on request.
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.
