Personal interview with the applicant for international protection

Magistrsko diplomsko delo se ukvarja z institutom osebnega razgovora s prosilcem za mednarodno zaščito, ki predstavlja enega ključnih delov postopka mednarodne zaščite, ker v njegovem okviru prosilec izkaže razloge, na podlagi katerih mu mora biti zagotovljena mednarodna zaščita in predstavlja vsebinsko jedro postopka mednarodne zaščite. Skozi preučitev evropske in nacionalne zakonodaje je poseben poudarek posvečen posameznim vidikom instituta osebnega razgovora kot so čas za izvedbo osebnega razgovora, izvedba osebnega razgovora vključno z analizo usposobljenosti uradnih oseb, zapisnika osebnega razgovora in možnosti izvajanja osebnega razgovora preko videokonference, osebni razgovor v dublinskem postopku, možnosti opustitve osebnega razgovora, posebne prilagoditve postopka v primeru ranljivih prosilcev, dostop do pravne pomoči in analiza pravice do tolmačenja. S pomočjo primerjalnopravne analize postopkov v izbranih državah članicah EU je mogoče identificirati slabosti trenutne ureditve in predvideti izboljšave, ki bi povečale učinkovitost postopka in izboljšale položaj prosilca za mednarodno zaščito. Pri tem je mogoče pridobiti tudi vpogled v prihodnost zakonodajnih sprememb na področju osebnega razgovora oziroma celotnega okvira mednarodne zaščite v Skupnem evropskem azilnem sistemu.The master thesis deals with the institute of personal interview with the applicant for international protection, which represents one of the key parts of the international protection procedure, since in the context of it the applicant presents his reasons on which the international protection must be guaranteed and represents the core of the international protection procedure. Through the examination of European and national legislation, special emphasis is placed on the individual aspects of the institute of the personal interview, such as time to conduct a personal interview, the conduct of personal interview including the analysis of the qualifications of officials, the record of a personal interview and the possibility of conducting a personal interview through a videoconference, a personal interview in the Dublin procedure, the possibility of omitting a personal interview, special adjustments to the procedure in the case of vulnerable applicants, access to legal assistance and the analysis of the right to interpretation. By means of a comparative legal analysis of procedures in selected EU Member States it is possible to identify the weaknesses of the current legislation and to anticipate improvements that would increase the efficiency of the procedure and improve the status of the applicant for international protection. In doing so, it is possible to gain insight into the future of legislative changes of the institute of personal interview and the entire framework of international protection in the Common European Asylum System
