3. Asylum and Refugee Law

Asylum and refugee law protects individuals who flee their home countries due to persecution or serious harm, such as war or violence. Asylum is granted to those who seek safety in a different country, while refugees are typically recognized before arriving. To receive these protections, applicants must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on factors like race, religion, or political beliefs. This legal framework ensures that vulnerable people have the right to seek safety and rebuild their lives in a secure environment.
