Safe Third Country Concepts

The Safe Third Country concept is a legal principle used in immigration, where a country agrees that another country is safe enough to handle asylum claims. If a person seeking asylum has already applied in or passed through a country considered "safe," they might be required to seek protection there instead of their current location. This system aims to prevent duplicate asylum applications and manage asylum processes efficiently, but it also raises questions about fairness and individual circumstances. It relies on countries trusting each other's standards for safety and protection.
