Right to Seek Asylum

The Right to Seek Asylum is a legal protection for individuals fleeing persecution or danger in their home countries. Under international law, people have the right to apply for asylum in another country if they can demonstrate that they face threats due to their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. This right aims to provide safety and refuge, allowing individuals to escape harm and rebuild their lives in a more secure environment. Countries that honor this right are obligated to fairly assess asylum claims and offer protection where warranted.
