Albanian blood feuds: an update is prepared by David Neale of Garden Court Chambers, and analyses the new Albania Country Policy and Information Note (CPIN) on blood feuds published by the Home Office in February 2020.
This update discusses how the new CPIN fails to respond to previous criticisms of the country guidance on blood feuds in Albania. It also notes new, positive information that has been included in the CPIN from a December 2017 report by Operazione Colomba, but points out that this is unfortunately not reflected in the overall policy summary or quoted in full.
