A country condition report is an expert document providing independent, referenced analysis of conditions in a claimant's country of origin, including the political situation, human rights record, treatment of specific groups, availability of state protection, and internal relocation viability. It is submitted as expert evidence in immigration tribunal and court proceedings and must meet the applicable expert-evidence standards.

A country condition expert report typically includes: the expert's qualifications and experience, a summary of instructions received, the substance of the facts and materials relied upon, the expert's opinion and reasoning, a summary of conclusions, and a statement of truth confirming the expert's understanding of their duty to the tribunal.

Government country policy and information notes are produced by state authorities and reflect the government's position on country conditions. An independent expert country condition report is produced by an expert with no institutional interest in the outcome, drawing on primary sources and current knowledge. Independent expert evidence can identify gaps, inaccuracies, or outdated content in government guidance and provide the tribunal with a more complete picture of conditions in the country of origin.
