Refugee and Asylum Framework

The Refugee and Asylum Framework is a system designed to protect individuals fleeing danger or persecution in their home countries. When someone seeks safety, they can apply for asylum—legal protection allowing them to stay in a new country. Asylum processes evaluate whether they meet international criteria for refugee status, based on risks like violence, war, or oppression. Countries follow laws and international agreements to ensure fair treatment, providing safety, legal rights, and support for refugees while determining their claims. This framework aims to uphold dignity and protection for people fleeing hardships beyond their control.
