Gruppenverfolgung im Asyl- und Flüchtlingsrecht

In this work, the case law of the factual and higher courts on group prosecution is analyzed. The thesis examines the uniformity or lack thereof in case law on group persecution, the reasons behind this, and its effects on the quality of this species of case law. The author comes to the result that the expansion of authority of the Federal Administrative Court is not a remedy for closing possible deficits. It would be disproportionate and, therefore, impertinent to resort to such a drastic measure without first addressing the real roots of the problem. In light of this, alternative solutions are proposed.
The author is an asylum procedure advisor and a full-time employee of the German Red Cross.
