Transforming Country of Origin Information for
Asylum Cases - ONLINE WEBINAR
We’re excited to announce a strategic partnership between AsyLex and Asylos to enhance the Rights in Exile platform, with a comprehensive Country of Origin Information (COI) section.
Together, we provide asylum seekers, legal professionals, and organisations with better access to up-to-date, reliable COI.
Join us for a webinar on January 28th, at 1PM CET / 12PM BST, to learn more about this partnership, and get an introduction to the Rights in Exile platform with a focus on the new COI section.
Asylos is an international network of over 60 volunteers in 25 countries who provide high-quality Country of Origin Information research for people claiming asylum and statelessness claims and their representatives around the world.
What is Country of Origin Information (COI)?
COI is critical for evaluating asylum claims, offering objective insights into the socio-political, economic, and human rights conditions of applicants’ home countries. Yet, finding trustworthy resources can be a challenge. By combining Asylos’ expert COI research with AsyLex’s innovative approach to legal tech, we’re making these resources more accessible and reliable.
Our Vision: A Collaborative Approach to Legal Information
This partnership is the first step in creating a collaborative model for the RiE platform, where expert organisations contribute specialised knowledge to each section.
This approach will expand across the platform, involving more specialist and local organisations to provide in-depth regional knowledge. The result? A dynamic, tech-driven platform with easy access to the most current and reliable asylum information.
Beyond enhancing COI resources, this collaboration will:
- Foster connection and knowledge sharing among organisations working in asylum and refugee protection
- Expand and strengthen our global network of experts providing high-quality COI and sharing best practices to amplify collective impact
- Lower barriers to legal assistance and protection for asylum seekers and refugees worldwide

The enhanced COI section is our first collaborative achievement. We’re committed to keeping RiE relevant and responsive to the evolving needs of those seeking justice. By working together to tackle common challenges—particularly the lack of access to reliable legal information—we’re improving both access to justice and efficiency across the asylum sector.
