Summary
Legal aid for asylum seekers and refugees remains a major challenge in the CEBS and Western Europe. Affordable legal aid that is both accessible and of high quality is being provided by a select few inter-, non- and governmental agencies, but it is often not enough.[2] Resources for the protection of refugees such as capacity, funds and time are scarce commodities throughout the region and they are often expended without being replenished. Accession to the EU,[3] in particular the implementation of the EU’s 1995 Resolution on Minimum Guarantees for Asylum Procedures,[4] has brought the question of legal aid for asylum seekers and refugees to the forefront of the discussion.[5] The development of high quality, low cost legal aid structures remains a low priority
