Regina (EM (Eritrea)) v Secretary of State for the Home Department; Regina (MA (Eritrea)) v Same; Regina (AE (Eritrea)) v Same; Regina (EH (Iran)) v Same [2012] EWCA Civ 1336; [2012] WLR (D) 282

“Persons who had sought, or been granted, asylum in Italy but had since come to the United Kingdom could not resist return to Italy on the ground that they faced inhuman or degrading treatment there unless it could be shown that there was a systemic deficiency in the system of refugee protection in that country. Short of such evidence, in respect of which the view of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (‘UNHCR’) was pre-eminent, even powerful evidence of individual risk was of no avail.”
