This article presents the main evidential features implied in the European Union direc-tives and case law regarding the recognition of refugee status. It focuses, first, on the challenges posed to judicial decision making by the absence of a unitarian European proof system, by the significant lack of evidence in the relevant judgments and by the conflicting interests at stake. The text highlights, then, the «subjective» connotation of international protection evidence and inserts it into the debate on the standards of proof which is characterizing the reflections of some legal philosophers.
