How these numbers are measured
Countries are identified in 4,145 decided hearing-level Guideline B case mentions. The country named on an allegation is free text in the source, so it is normalized through a list of variants actually observed in the record, never guessed; the few records naming several countries in one field are excluded rather than split. A case involving several countries counts under each one, and countries under 25 cases are not listed, because a page built on a handful of decisions tells a reader nothing. Related: the Issue Encyclopedia and Guideline B.
Reading the statistics
- Granted = access granted or continued; Denied = denied or revoked.
- Grant rate = granted ÷ (granted + denied).
- † marks figures based on fewer than 20 cases, too few to be reliable.
- Hovering any rate shows its statistical range (a 95% confidence interval).
- Figures are descriptive counts over decided, public DOHA ISCR decisions, never predictions or assessments of any pending case.
