An Entity of Type: Supreme Court of the United States case, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

HJ (Iran) and HT (Cameroon) v Secretary of State for the Home Department [2010] UKSC 31 is a case decided by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom concerning two men, from Iran and Cameroon respectively, claiming asylum in the United Kingdom on the grounds of their homosexuality. The men's claims had previously been turned down on the basis they would not face persecution in their own countries if they would conceal their sexuality. The appeal therefore centred on the question as to whether the men on their return could reasonably be expected to tolerate this requirement of discretion; the so-called 'discretion' or 'reasonable tolerability' test. Interventions were made by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

  • HJ (Iran) and HT (Cameroon) v Secretary of State for the Home Department (HJ (Iran) i HT (Camerun) contra el Secretari de l'Estat per al Departament d'Interior) és un cas resolt pel del Regne Unit sobre dos homes, de l'Iran i Camerun respectivament, que sol·licitaven asil al Regne Unit per la seva homosexualitat. Les sol·licituds dels homes havien estat rebutjades prèviament pels tribunals d'apel·lació sobre la base que no s'enfrontarien a la persecució en els seus propis països si ocultaven la seva sexualitat. Per tant, el recurs es va centrar en la qüestió de si es podia esperar raonablement que els homes, al seu retorn, toleressin aquest requisit de discreció; l'anomenada prova de «discreció» o «tolerabilitat raonable». Van intervenir la , un organisme públic no departamental a Anglaterra i Gal·les, i l'Alt Comissionat de les Nacions Unides per als Refugiats. El cas es va veure entre el 10 i el 12 de maig de 2010 i la sentència es va dictar el 7 de juliol de 2010, en la qual els cinc jutges del Tribunal va dictaminar per unanimitat que no es podia esperar que els homes ocultessin la seva sexualitat d'aquesta manera, i que era erroni aplicar l'anomenada «prova de discrecionalitat» a tals reclamacions. Els casos van ser remesos per a ser reconsiderats d'acord amb les recomanacions contingudes en la sentència. Lord Hope, que va llegir la sentència, va dir: (ca)

Interventions were made by the Equality and Human Rights Commission and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. The case was heard between 10 and 12 May 2010 with a judgement delivered on 7 July 2010, in which the Court ruled unanimously that the men could not be expected to conceal their sexuality in this way, and that it was wrong to apply the so-called 'discretion test' to such claims. The cases were then both remitted to be reconsidered according to the advice contained in the judgement. (en)
