Guidelines: transposition of the Asylum Qualification Directive

In 2011, the European Union adopted the recast Qualification Directive (2011/95/EU) setting out rules governing minimum standards on conditions under which international protection is granted as part of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS).

The purpose of these guidelines, which update the previous version published by ILGA-Europe in 2005 after the adoption of the first Qualification Directive, is to identify the relevant parts of the Directive for applicants for international protection persecuted because of their being lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans or intersex.

This publication will help national policy makers and NGOs to work towards a full implementation of EU law in this area.
