In particular, the purpose of country records [by the Country of Origin Information Unit] shall be to gather relevant facts for:

  1. assessing whether facts exist which allow for the conclusion that there is a danger of persecution in a certain country as defined in the present federal act;
  2. assessing the credibility of the statements by the asylum seekers and
  3. deciding whether a certain country is safe within the meaning of art. 39 (safe country of origin) or of art. 4 (safe third country)

In the database of the Austrian Federal Office for Immigration and Asylum (in cooperation with the Red Cross/ACCORD - www.ecoi.net) you will find a comprehensive collection of all relevant and up-to-date documents regarding country of origin information.
