The Asylum (Designated Countries of Destination and Designated Safe Third Countries) Order 1996
Under paragraph 5 of Schedule 2 to the Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993 (as substituted by the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996), an accelerated appeal procedure applies to an asylum-seeker whose claim is rejected and is to be sent to a country or territory designated by the Secretary of State as one in which it appears to him that there is in general no serious risk of persecution. This, the first designation Order, specifies Bulgaria, Cyprus, Ghana, India, Pakistan, Poland and Romania as such countries.
