"Asylgesetz" (Asylum Law)

The "Asylgesetz" (Asylum Law) is German legislation that governs the process for individuals seeking protection in Germany due to persecution or danger in their home country. It outlines the procedures for applying for asylum, criteria for recognition as a refugee, and the rights and responsibilities of asylum seekers. The law aims to ensure fair treatment, security, and proper integration for those in need of international protection, while balancing national interests and security concerns. It aligns with international agreements, such as the Geneva Convention, to provide a structured legal framework for asylum procedures in Germany.
