Advocate General Sharpston considers that Directive 2004/83 offers automatic recognition of refugee status to persons who, as a result of external circumstances beyond their control, have ceased to receive protection or assistance from UN bodies other than the UNHCR. This recognition stems from the obligations of international protection found in the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees. |
