Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ)

The Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) is a framework established by the European Union aimed at ensuring the free movement of people while maintaining safety and justice across member states. It focuses on harmonizing laws related to immigration, asylum, and police cooperation, as well as protecting citizens' rights. The AFSJ promotes collaboration between countries to address cross-border crime, enhance security measures, and ensure fair treatment for those seeking asylum. Ultimately, it strives to create a balance between individual freedoms and collective security within the EU.
