Part 2: Asylum Chapter 8: Removal to safe third country Section 34: Article 1(A)(2): Protection from Persecution
Overview: This section provides a definition of "protection" as used in Article 1(A)(2) of the Refugee Convention.
	Background: In determining whether a fear of persecution is likely to manifest, decision makers will also consider what protection is available to the individual within the country of origin to protect them from the risk of persecution.
	The UK currently relies on the definition of "protection" provided in regulation 4 of the 2006 Regulations, which is revoked by section 30(4). The intention of this section is to create a definition of protection from persecution in primary legislation.
	Subsection 1 specifies who is considered able to provide protection from persecution: the state or a party or organisation in control of the state, or a large part of it.
	Subsection 2 provides that consideration be given to the sufficiency of protection. Actors of protection mentioned in subsection 1 must take reasonable steps to provide protection through its criminal law system, police force and judicial system.
