Note(s)
It is the applicant’s responsibility to prove facts in support of their claim. Facts which need to the 'proved' are those which concern the background and personal experiences of the applicant which purportedly have given rise to fear of persecution and the resultant unwillingness to avail themselves of the protection of the country of origin.
