Common European Asylum System

The Common European Asylum System (CEAS) is a set of laws and practices established by the European Union to ensure a fair and consistent approach to asylum across member countries. Its main goals are to protect the rights of people seeking refuge from persecution, ensure they receive adequate support, and harmonize the asylum process so that decisions are similar no matter where an application is made in the EU. CEAS includes regulations on how asylum claims are processed, the treatment of asylum seekers, and the responsibilities of member states in handling these claims.
