THE LEGAL CHALLENGES OF ASYLUM IN THE ERA OF THE REFUGEE CRISIS

Abstract

In this paper I will discuss the topic "The legal challenges of asylum at the height of the
refugee crisis", where we will get to know the term asylum, how the status of asylum seeker
is acquired, asylum in history, asylum according to Macedonian law, procedure for acquiring
the right to asylum, the challenges of asylum, the legal framework, as well as the Asylum
Sector.
In our legal system, issues related to asylum refer to several legal sources: the
Constitution, the Law on Foreigners, the Law on Citizenship and the Law on International and
Temporary Protection.
The right to asylum is one of the basic human rights, according to the 1948 Universal
Declaration of Human Rights. Everyone has the right to seek asylum, except criminals and
persons who have violated the principles of the United Nations Charter. States are not obliged to grant asylum, but it is done on a voluntary basis. Some countries allow this right to be
claimed in diplomatic missions and missions.
Finally, through examples from everyday practice in this area, we will determine
whether the rights of persons seeking asylum are respected in order to determine whether the
basic human rights of persons seeking asylum are respected.
