Secretary of State for the Home Department (1)The correct test was not whether a State had taken all reasonable steps to protect its citizens against persecution having regard to its means and resources and to the circumstances in the State at the particular time, but was whether, viewed objectively, the domestic protection offered by or available from the State to the appellant was or was not reasonably likely to prevent persecution, or alternatively, whether the State was able to provide effective protection against persecution. (2)Although persecution is normally related to action by the authorities it may also emanate from 'sections of the population' or 'local populace' that do not respect the standards established by the laws of the country concerned. 1 April 1997 \| Judicial Body: United Kingdom: Asylum and Immigration Tribunal / Immigration Appellate Authority \| Document type: Case Law \| Legal Instrument: 1951 Refugee Convention \| Topic(s): Effective protection - Non-state agents of persecution \| Countries: Algeria - United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
