asylum-seekers rights

Asylum-seekers have the right to ask for protection if they face danger or persecution in their home country. They can apply for asylum at the border or inside the country, and their application must be fairly considered. While awaiting decisions, they generally have the right not to be returned to their home country if their safety is at risk. They are entitled to legal processes, access to legal assistance, and basic rights like housing and healthcare in many cases. These protections aim to ensure they are treated with dignity and fairness while their claims are evaluated.
