Abstract

For years, Canadian refugee status determination (RSD) procedures have faced significant administrative capacity issues. Arguing that the RSD system was attracting “unfounded” claims and becoming inefficient, the Harper government pursued rights-restrictive reforms. Is there a connection between applicants' procedural rights and the efficiency of Canadian RSD? This article outlines and empirically tests arguments for and against restricting refugee applicants' procedural rights to enhance efficiency. Examining macro-level trends in applications and micro-level adjudicator-specific routines, it presents evidence against the notion that rights-restrictive measures save adjudicators time. The article also shows that procedural rights can foster efficient RSD practices when applicants and adjudicators have access to competent legal counsel.

不仅仅是倡导者:律师在有效确定难民身份中的作用

多年来，加拿大难民身份确定(RSD)程序面临着重大的行政能力问题。哈珀政府认为RSD制度吸引了“毫无根据”的要求，效率低下，因此进行了限制权利的改革。申请人的程序性权利与加拿大RSD的效率之间是否存在联系?本文概述并实证检验了支持和反对限制难民申请人程序性权利以提高效率的论点。研究了宏观层面的应用趋势和微观层面的审查员特定惯例，提出了反对权利限制措施节省审查员时间的观点的证据。本文还表明，当申请人和裁决者能够获得称职的法律顾问时，程序性权利可以促进有效的RSD实践。
