Asylum Procedure Directive

The Asylum Procedure Directive is a European Union law that sets out the rules for how member states handle applications for asylum. It aims to ensure fair and efficient processes for people seeking protection from persecution in their home countries. The directive establishes standards for application procedures, including timelines for decisions, the right to appeal, and the treatment of asylum seekers while their applications are processed. Its goal is to create consistency across EU countries to protect the rights of individuals seeking asylum and prevent discrimination.
