R v Asfaw (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees intervening)
May 08
[2008] UKHL 31
Mike Fordham and Shaheed Fatima acted for UNHCR in this important case which establishes (a) a wide ambit of the Refugee Convention protection of refugees from prosecution for travelling on false papers and (b) that it is an abuse of process to prosecute to conviction a refugee protected by the Convention but not by the domestic statute.
