Cartables nationaux de documentation

​​​​​Les cartables nationaux de documentation (CND) sont des listes de documents publics qui fournissent de l’information sur les conditions dans les pays. Ils sont périodiquement mis à jour au moyen de renseignements accessibles au public. Les CND portant sur des pays à l’égard desquels un grand nombre de demandes d’asile sont présentées peuvent être mis à jour plus fréquemment. Les mises à jour peuvent être retardées en période de changements rapides et d’incertitude pour permettre la constitution d’un corpus de renseignements pertinents.

Les CND visent à appuyer le processus d’octroi de l’asile. Ils ne doivent pas être interprétés comme une reconnaissance de la souveraineté ou du statut politique d’un territoire.

Les CND, qui comprennent les réponses aux demandes d’information (RDI) que la Commission de l’immigration et du statut de réfugié du Canada publie sur son site Web, peuvent contenir des documents annexés qui ne sont pas accessibles en ligne. Pour obtenir une copie d’un document annexé, veuillez en faire la demande par courriel.

Avertissement

Les cartables nationaux de documentation (CND) comprennent des renseignements sur les pays d'origine qui sont accessibles au public au moment de la publication et dans les délais fixés pour leur préparation. La Direction des recherches s'efforce d'actualiser les renseignements contenus dans le CND, mais les recherches ne sont pas exhaustives et les conditions dans les pays peuvent évoluer rapidement. Les membres du public sont invités à suggérer des documents qu'ils jugent pertinents pour le CND.  

Les CND n'apportent pas, ni ne prétendent apporter, de preuves concluantes quant au fondement d'une demande d'asile donnée. Ils visent plutôt à appuyer le processus d'octroi de l'asile. C'est aux commissaires indépendants (les décideurs) de la CISR qu'il incombe d'évaluer les renseignements contenus dans les CND et de décider du poids qui doit leur être accordé après avoir examiné les éléments de preuve et les arguments présentés par les parties.  

Des références complètes sont fournies pour toutes les sources, y compris des hyperliens, pour permettre de trouver facilement l'information. La CISR tentera de s'assurer que les liens sont mis à jour dans les versions les plus récentes des CND. Elle ne peut offrir de garantie ni assumer de responsabilité à l'égard des éléments suivants :

  • la fonctionnalité des liens vers les sources externes;
  • le contenu auquel ces liens donnent accès;
  • l'accessibilité du contenu externe en français et en anglais;
  • tout autre aspect des sites Internet appartenant à des tiers.

Les renseignements présentés dans les CND reflètent uniquement les points de vue et les perspectives des sources citées et ne reflètent pas nécessairement la position de la CISR ou du gouvernement du Canada.
