Somalia: Asylum, Refugee, and Migrant Protection Issues in 2013

United States views on international law [1] in relation to Somalia: Asylum, Refugee, and Migrant Protection Issues: On November 1, 2013, DHS announced that it was extending the existing designation of Somalia for TPS for 18 months through September 17, 2015. 78 Fed. Reg. 65,690 (Nov. 1, 2013). The extension was based on the determination that conditions in Somalia that prompted the TPS designation continue to be met, namely there continues to be a substantial, but temporary, disruption of living conditions in Somalia based upon ongoing armed conflict and extraordinary and temporary conditions in that country that prevent Somalis who have TPS from safely returning.
