ENF 18, section 8.2 breaks down into three (3) categories persons who are inadmissible under
section 35 (I )(b)
of
IRP A and lists the evidentiary requirements to establish inadmissibility for each
category.
Category I:
•
Named positions described
in
R16(a), R16(b), R16(f) ambassadors only, and RI6(g);
•
That a person
is
or
was
an
official in this category
is
determinative
of
the allegation.
Aside from the designation and proof that the person holds
or
held such a position, no
further evidence is required to establish inadmissibility.
Category II:
•
Senior positions described
in
RI6(c), R16(d), R16(e), and RI6(f) senior diplomatic
officials

of
the regime, the officer must established that the position
the individual holds
or
held
is
indeed a senior one and should be related to the hierarchy
in which the function operates. A general indicator
is
that an individual's position
is
positioned within the top half
of
the hierarchy
of
an
organization.
Category III:
•
Persons not described in R16;
•
In addition to the designation
of
the regime, the officer must establish that the individual
exercised significant influence on the action
or
policies
of
the regime
or
benefitted from
the position.
The following questions may assist officers
in
determining
if
a position

described
in
R16(c):

of

or
government and
or
