by Despina Tziola
International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies (IJHRCS), Vol. 2, No. 2, 2014

Abstract: A gay man was entitled to live freely and openly in accordance with his sexual identity under the refugee convention ('the convention') and it was no answer to the claim for asylum that he would conceal his sexual identity in order to avoid the persecution that would follow if he did not do so.
