- Authors
Barreno, Barbara R.
- Abstract
The article examines the refugee law and the adjudication of domestic violence asylum claims in the U.S. It explains the provisions under the Refugee Act, which grant asylum or protection of persecuted aliens, who meet the definition of a refugee, and the inconsistency on domestic violence asylum application and adjudication. It discusses the approach of the government to bring consistency to the adjudication by adopting the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees' (UNHCR) guidelines.
