Name:	AsylumSupport.info - Position Paper on Safe Areas
Description:	Position paper in opposition to the UK government's proposal for the regional management of asylum through the use of safe havens. The plan is to transfer spontaneous asylum-seekers to safe havens outside of the European Union. The paper challenges the plan as unprincipled (because it undermines the safety of refugees as provided by the 1951 Refugee Convention), legally problematic (as it will lead to many expensive and lengthy judicial challenges), unworkable (as the system will be clogged with applicants), and expensive (because the cost of establishing the safety havens, deporting persons, and monitoring the safety of safe havens will be prohibitively costly).
