Migration Dİctionary with Ege Katırcıoğlu: #2-What is Asylum?
Welcome. It's Ege Katırcıoğlu.
I'm here with the second chapter of the Migration Dictionary Programme.
In this chapter, I am going to explain the meaning of "Asylum" to you.
What is Asylum?
Asylum is a type of protection that a state grants in it territory based on the Non-Refoulement Obligations and
Refugee Rights recognized at the international or national level.
This type of the protection is granted to people who are not protected in the country of their nationality or
residence, especially those who fear persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership
in a particular social group or political opinion.
