Abstract
SUMMARY OF KEY ISSUES Current country guidance for Albania, used as the basis for making decisions on asylum claims for unaccompanied young people, is outdated and not fit for purpose Country guidance on blood feuds fails to recognise the potential impact of feuds across several generations and their relevance to the lives of young people currently seeking asylum. Home Office guidelines and principles informing due process in children’s asylum cases, and in particular the application of the ‘benefit of doubt’ principle, need to be more systematically upheld for children and young people from Albania. There is a significant need for research to improve evidence and understanding of a number of key areas affecting the migration decisions and asylum claims of unaccompanied young people from Albania
