A, B, C: eight years on : A reflexive thematic analysis of post-ABC French National Court of Asylum's rulings on sexuality- and gender-based asylum claims

In 2014, the decision of the European Court of Justice on the A, B, and C, case was a landmark moment in refugee law. Namely, it theoretically rang the death knell of the use of stereotypes on sexuality in refugee status determination. This study draws on reflexive thematic analysis of judgments of the French National Court of Asylum to explore whether stereotypes persist and, if so, what meaning they entail. It argues that the French National Court of Asylum seems to privilege essentialist, homonationalist, and cis-homo-normative understanding of refugee subjects. In doing so, this thesis identifies problematic areas and engages with them, drawing on recent literature on the subject.
