Refugee Status Appeals Authority
- Refugee Status Appeals Authority
-
The New Zealand Refugee Status Appeals Authority or RSAA, is an independent body which was set up to hear the appeals of people who have been declined refugee status by the Refugee Status Branch of the New Zealand Immigration Service.
It was established in 1991 and currently abolished and new Immigration and Protection Tribunal is created under the Immigration Act 2009.
The RSAA is composed of a Chairperson and 24 Members (part-time and full-time), all of whom are either legal practitioners or retired judges.
The most high-profile case yet adjudged by the RSAA is that of Ahmed Zaoui, whose appeal was eventually successful.
