Goals:

To provide legal assistance during the administrative appeal procedure before the Appeals Committee in Athens and Corinth

Actions:

-Legal assistance to fully meet the needs of the Board of Appeal

-Depending on the availability of program  and due to the reduced demand at the appeals stage, legal assistance may be given during the process of recording and examining the international protection case before the Asylum Service primarily in cases of unaccompanied minor children and in family matters. reunification in accordance with Dublin Regulation 604/2013 / EU.

-If there is additional availability, legal assistance is given, in the order of priority, in family unit cases beyond the Dublin Regulation, to vulnerable persons, as well as to detention issues and cases involving relevant administrative decisions and administrative treatment for the above categories of persons before administrative and judicial authorities.

-GCR also objects to the Appeals Committee's decisions rejecting the judiciary.

Results:

The program gradually ceased to operate in 2018 as the state assumed support during the appeal process through the lawyers of the Asylum Registry. Through the program, GCR provided asylum support and counseling to lawyers.
