Abstract

The note argues that incorporating Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) techniques into asylum adjudications can enhance the fairness and accuracy of credibility determinations. It proposes a two-step process, including preliminary fact-finding and early neutral evaluation, to address challenges such as cultural differences, trauma, and adversarial dynamics.
