Country of origin information

This guide from Right to Remain explains what objective country of origin evidence is, how it differs from personal testimony, and how to use it to support an asylum or human rights claim with the Home Office. It covers key source types including Home Office Country Policy and Information Notes (CPINs), country guidance case law, and reputable human rights organisations. A curated, topic-by-topic directory of trusted sources is provided, spanning general human rights, armed forces, children, child labour, child soldiers, constitutions, the death penalty, ethnic minorities, IDPs, journalists, LGBTQIA+ people, medical care, religious freedom, women, and female genital mutilation. The guide is intended for use by claimants with or without legal representation.
