In November 2023, my Department received an invitation from the Department of Justice to provide observations on a review of the Safe Country of Origin list for applications from Algeria under the International Protection Act 2015.

My Department provided comments on a number of potential factors including, domestic stability; security challenges; the asylum and protection framework; freedom of the media; women’s rights; and rights of minority groups. My Department drew on internal information and reports by partners on the ground to inform our analysis of the situation.
