allegedly belonging to his parents and a document issued by the Iraqi Nation Party on 10
May 2011, which allegedly corroborated his membership in the Party. The Committee
observes that in its decision of 18 May 2011, the Refugee Appeals Board took note of the
allegations raised by the author before the State party’s authorities, including the asylum
registration report prepared by the aliens division of the Danish immigration police, his
asylum application form, his statements in the interview with the Danish Immigration
Service and at the Board hearing, as well as the documentation submitted by him in support
of his claims. Yet it found that the author had not been able to substantiate, in a coherent
and credible manner, his alleged activities for the Iraqi Nation Party, the assaults on him
and the attempts on his life, and thus the risk to which he would be exposed if returned to
Iraq. The author disagrees with the Board’s decision. However, he has failed to explain why
this decision is manifestly unreasonable or arbitrary, for instance owing to the failure to
take properly into account a relevant risk factor. Moreover, the author has not pointed to
any procedural irregularities in the decision-making procedure by the Danish Immigration
Service or the Refugee Appeals Board. Accordingly, the Committee considers that the
author has not sufficiently substantiated the allegations under articles 6 and 7 of the
Covenant for the purposes of admissibility and finds these claims inadmissible under article
2 of the Optional Protocol.
10.
The Committee therefore decides:
(a)
Protocol;
(b)
10
That the communication is inadmissible under articles 2 and 3 of the Optional
That the decision be transmitted to the State party and to the author.
