operation of asylum systems

Asylum systems are legal processes that allow individuals fleeing persecution or serious harm in their home countries to seek protection in another country. Applicants typically must demonstrate a credible fear of persecution based on factors like race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a specific social group. The process often involves submitting an application, attending interviews, and possibly appealing decisions. While waiting, applicants may receive temporary assistance. Each country has its own rules and timelines, and outcomes can vary significantly based on individual circumstances and the system's capacity.
