asylum rights
Sanctuary seeker entitlements
Asylum rights are the legal protections afforded to people fleeing persecution in their home countries.
International law, particularly the 1951 Refugee Convention, establishes that individuals have the right to seek asylum and that nations cannot return refugees to places where they face serious threats.
Asylum rights are under increasing pressure as migration flows grow.
The term appears frequently in debates over immigration policy and border enforcement.
