Abstract
The nine amici curiae are distinguished scholars of international law, refugee rights, and the immigration laws of the United States. Biographical information on the amici, who are participating in their individual capacities and not as representatives of the institutions with which they are affiliated, is described in Appendix A.
Amici have a strong interest in the questions presented by the petition. As some of the world's leading scholars on these topics, amici are interested in the proper interpretation and application of U.S. laws in accordance with the United States' obligations under the Refugee Protocol and international law. In concluding that refugees like petitioner are ineligible for asylum, the court below resolved a statutory conflict in a manner that violates this nation's obligations to refugees under domestic and international law.
