U.S. Government Consular Information Sheets

In order to assess the accuracy and reliability of the U.S. Department of State's current Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, Profiles of Asylum Claims Reports, International Religious Freedom Reports, and Issue Papers compare and contrast their content with the Consular Information Sheets below. Other sources reflecting upon country conditions include the U.K. Foreign Office Travel Advisories, U.K. Home Office Country Reports, and the Australian Government's Travel Alerts and Advisories. For a more comprehensive understanding of current country conditions, Political Asylum Research and Documentation Service (PARDS) can arrange access to an internationally known and respected, country-specific expert.
