Guidelines on the Treatment of Chechen Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Asylum Seekers & Refugees in Europe

These guidelines are a response to the high number of Chechen refugees currently in Europe and the fact that some states are denying these refugees international protection on the grounds that they would be safe elsewhere in the Russian Federation. They include the latest developments in the Chechen Republic (here in after Chechnya) and the Russian Federation as well as information on the situation for Chechen asylum seekers and refugees in other European countries.
