Refugee and Asylum Laws

Refugee and asylum laws are legal frameworks that protect individuals fleeing danger or persecution in their home countries. A refugee is someone outside their country who seeks safety due to threats like war, violence, or persecution based on race, religion, or political beliefs. Asylum laws allow these individuals to apply for protection once they reach a safe country. The host country evaluates whether the person qualifies as a refugee and grants asylum if they prove they face danger. These laws aim to provide safety and uphold human rights for vulnerable populations seeking refuge.
