UN refugee agency criticises Slovenia’s asylum law

7th January 2008

The United Nations refugee agency on Monday criticised Slovenia’s new asylum law for failing to meet international legal standards and putting asylum seekers at risk of detention or deportation, reports eubusiness.com

Slovenia, which assumed the presidency of the European Union on January 1, brought its new law into force on Friday.

The new legislation was drafted in line with EU asylum directives, following the former Yugoslav republic’s entry into the bloc in 2005.
