Precisely. You are talking about a specialist responsible for assisting claimants. In my opinion, this is the lawyer's role. He is the one who is a specialist in refugees' rights. There is a kind of void. We do not know in what context the interview will be held, and what questions it will include. It is as though you were going to fish information out of a box. One would have to know whether or not this information would be relevant. People are traumatized when they arrive, they are very fragile. They do not trust the authorities and they do not know how to answer the questions. It is important that they receive the services and the assistance to which they have the right in order to be able to answer important questions that will decide their fate.
