Summary
Asylum is different from other legal fields. The stakes are life and death, yet there is scarce externally verifiable evidence to support claims for protection. Consequently, much depends on the assessment of the claimant’s testimony during the interview. This workshop will result in a special issue on the challenges of credibility assessments from an interdisciplinary perspective.
