14 BENEFICIARIES OF HUMANITARIAN ASSIST15 ANCE. 

16 (a) PROHIBITION.—None of the funds made available 

17 for foreign operations, export financing, and related pro18 grams under the headings ‘‘Migration and Refugee Assist19 ance’’, ‘‘United States Emergency Refugee and Migration 

20 Assistance Fund’’, ‘‘International Disaster and Famine

23 that provides for the protection of beneficiaries of assist24 ance under any such heading from sexual exploitation and 

25 abuse in humanitarian relief operations. 
71

HR 1268 RFS 

1 (b) SIX CORE PRINCIPLES.—The code of conduct re2 ferred to in subsection (a) shall, to the maximum extent 

3 practicable, be consistent with the following six core prin4 ciples of the United Nations Inter-Agency Standing Com5 mittee Task Force on Protection From Sexual Exploi6 tation and Abuse in Humanitarian Crises: 

7 (1) ‘‘Sexual exploitation and abuse by humani8 tarian workers constitute acts of gross misconduct 

9 and are therefore grounds for termination of employ10 ment.’’. 

11 (2) ‘‘Sexual activity with children (persons 

12 under the age of 18) is prohibited regardless of the 

13 age of majority or age of consent locally. Mistaken 

14 belief regarding the age of a child is not a defense.’’. 

15 (3) ‘‘Exchange of money, employment, goods, or 

16 services for sex, including sexual favors or other 

17 forms of humiliating, degrading or exploitative be18 havior, is prohibited. This includes exchange of as19 sistance that is due to beneficiaries.’’. 

20 (4) ‘‘Sexual relationships between humanitarian 

21 workers and beneficiaries are strongly discouraged 

22 since they are based on inherently unequal power dy23 namics. Such relationships undermine the credibility 

24 and integrity of humanitarian aid work.’’. 
72

HR 1268 RFS 

1 (5) ‘‘Where a humanitarian worker develops 

2 concerns or suspicions regarding sexual abuse or ex3 ploitation by a fellow worker, whether in the same 

4 agency or not, he or she must report such concerns 

5 via established agency reporting mechanisms.’’. 

6 (6) ‘‘Humanitarian agencies are obliged to cre7 ate and maintain an environment which prevents 

8 sexual exploitation and abuse and promotes the im9 plementation of their code of conduct. Managers at 

10 all levels have particular responsibilities to support 

11 and develop systems which maintain this environ12 ment.’’.

4 ‘‘(B) BURDEN OF PROOF.—

5 ‘‘(i) IN GENERAL.—The burden of 

6 proof is on the applicant to establish that 

7 the applicant is a refugee, within the 

8 meaning of section 101(a)(42)(A). To es9 tablish that the applicant is a refugee with10 in the meaning of such section, the appli11 cant must establish that race, religion, na12 tionality, membership in a particular social 

13 group, or political opinion was or will be a 

14 central reason for persecuting the appli15 cant. 

16 ‘‘(ii) SUSTAINING BURDEN.—The tes17 timony of the applicant may be sufficient 

18 to sustain the applicant’s burden without 

19 corroboration, but only if the applicant sat20 isfies the trier of fact that the applicant’s 

21 testimony is credible, is persuasive, and re22 fers to specific facts sufficient to dem23 onstrate that the applicant is a refugee. In 

24 determining whether the applicant has met 

25 the applicant’s burden, the trier of fact 
76

HR 1268 RFS 

1 may weigh the credible testimony along 

2 with other evidence of record. Where the 

3 trier of fact determines, in the trier of 

4 fact’s discretion, that the applicant should 

5 provide evidence which corroborates other6 wise credible testimony, such evidence 

7 must be provided unless the applicant does 

8 not have the evidence and cannot reason9 ably obtain the evidence without departing 

10 the United States. The inability to obtain 

11 corroborating evidence does not excuse the 

12 applicant from meeting the applicant’s 

13 burden of proof. 

14 ‘‘(iii) CREDIBILITY DETERMINA15 TION.—The trier of fact should consider all 

16 relevant factors and may, in the trier of 

17 fact’s discretion, base the trier of fact’s 

18 credibility determination on any such fac19 tor, including the demeanor, candor, or re20 sponsiveness of the applicant or witness, 

21 the inherent plausibility of the applicant’s 

22 or witness’s account, the consistency be23 tween the applicant’s or witness’s written 

24 and oral statements (whenever made and 

25 whether or not made under oath), the in-
77

HR 1268 RFS 

1 ternal consistency of each such statement, 

2 the consistency of such statements with 

3 other evidence of record (including the re4 ports of the Department of State on coun5 try conditions), and any inaccuracies or 

6 falsehoods in such statements, without re7 gard to whether an inconsistency, inaccu8 racy, or falsehood goes to the heart of the 

9 applicant’s claim. There is no presumption 

10 of credibility.’’. 

11 (b) WITHHOLDING OF REMOVAL.—Section 241(b)(3) 

12 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 

13 1231(b)(3)) is amended by adding at the end the fol14 lowing: 

15 ‘‘(C) SUSTAINING BURDEN OF PROOF; 

16 CREDIBILITY DETERMINATIONS.—In deter17 mining whether an alien has demonstrated that 

18 the alien’s life or freedom would be threatened 

19 for a reason described in subparagraph (A), the 

20 trier of fact shall determine whether the alien 

21 has sustained the alien’s burden of proof, and 

22 shall make credibility determinations, in the 

23 manner described in clauses (ii) and (iii) of sec24 tion 208(b)(1)(B).’’. 
78

HR 1268 RFS 

1 (c) OTHER REQUESTS FOR RELIEF FROM RE2 MOVAL.—Section 240(c) of the Immigration and Nation3 ality Act (8 U.S.C. 1230(c)) is amended—

4 (1) by redesignating paragraphs (4), (5), and 

5 (6) as paragraphs (5), (6), and (7), respectively; and 

6 (2) by inserting after paragraph (3) the fol7 lowing: 

8 ‘‘(4) APPLICATIONS FOR RELIEF FROM RE9 MOVAL.—

10 ‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—An alien applying for 

11 relief or protection from removal has the bur12 den of proof to establish that the alien—

13 ‘‘(i) satisfies the applicable eligibility 

14 requirements; and 

15 ‘‘(ii) with respect to any form of relief 

16 that is granted in the exercise of discre17 tion, that the alien merits a favorable exer18 cise of discretion. 

19 ‘‘(B) SUSTAINING BURDEN.—The appli20 cant must comply with the applicable require21 ments to submit information or documentation 

22 in support of the applicant’s application for re23 lief or protection as provided by law or by regu24 lation or in the instructions for the application 

25 form. In evaluating the testimony of the appli-
79

HR 1268 RFS 

1 cant or other witness in support of the applica2 tion, the immigration judge will determine 

3 whether or not the testimony is credible, is per4 suasive, and refers to specific facts sufficient to 

5 demonstrate that the applicant has satisfied the 

6 applicant’s burden of proof. In determining 

7 whether the applicant has met such burden, the 

8 immigration judge shall weigh the credible testi9 mony along with other evidence of record. 

10 Where the immigration judge determines in the 

11 judge’s discretion that the applicant should pro12 vide evidence which corroborates otherwise cred13 ible testimony, such evidence must be provided 

14 unless the applicant demonstrates that the ap15 plicant does not have the evidence and cannot 

16 reasonably obtain the evidence without depart17 ing from the United States. The inability to ob18 tain corroborating evidence does not excuse the 

19 applicant from meeting the burden of proof. 

20 ‘‘(C) CREDIBILITY DETERMINATION.—The 

21 immigration judge should consider all relevant 

22 factors and may, in the judge’s discretion, base 

23 the judge’s credibility determination on any 

24 such factor, including the demeanor, candor, or 

25 responsiveness of the applicant or witness, the 
80

HR 1268 RFS 

1 inherent plausibility of the applicant’s or 

2 witness’s account, the consistency between the 

3 applicant’s or witness’s written and oral state4 ments (whenever made and whether or not 

5 made under oath), the internal consistency of 

6 each such statement, the consistency of such 

7 statements with other evidence of record (in8 cluding the reports of the Department of State 

9 on country conditions), and any inaccuracies or 

10 falsehoods in such statements, without regard 

11 to whether an inconsistency, inaccuracy, or 

12 falsehood goes to the heart of the applicant’s 

13 claim. There is no presumption of credibility.’’. 

14 (d) STANDARD OF REVIEW FOR ORDERS OF RE15 MOVAL.—Section 242(b)(4) of the Immigration and Na16 tionality Act (8 U.S.C. 1252(b)(4)) is amended by adding

18 court shall reverse a determination made by a trier of fact 

19 with respect to the availability of corroborating evidence, 

20 as described in section 208(b)(1)(B), 240(c)(4)(B), or
