About the Experts Directory
The last edition of the ILPA Directory of Experts was published in paper form in 1997. The pressing need for a new edition has been demonstrated by the large number of queries on asylum related mailing lists and bulletin boards seeking details of experts on particular countries and issues. By publishing the new edition electronically, ILPA and the EIN aim to keep experts' details up to date and respond quickly to demand for experts on new countries and issues.
Expert evidence is of central importance in the determination of asylum and human rights cases and we are keen to promote best practice in this regard. The Best Practice Guide to Asylum and Human Rights Appeals devotes a large proportion of its text to guidance on expert evidence and how to choose a suitable expert. This Directory of Experts does not purport to assess the experts itself, but by giving representatives access for the first time to detailed information from a wide variety of experts in a fully searchable database, we believe it will assist representatives in presenting high quality expert evidence appropriate to the demands of the individual case.
