Political asylum and civil rights

Political asylum and civil rights, a particularly fashionable topic in our country. The discipline regarding the reception and protection of foreigners has changed significantly in the last 10 years, increasingly resorting to their protection, especially if they are persecuted in their country of origin.

The current situation is as follows: our territory can host and guarantee international protection and political asylum to foreigners persecuted in their country of origin for reasons of race, religion, nationality, belonging to a certain social group or political opinion.

The condition for this to happen is only one: that the foreigner obtain recognition of refugee status.

It follows that it is possible that all foreigners who are in these conditions, as well as stateless persons (people without nationality) who, for the same reasons, do not want to return to their country of origin, request protection in Italy by presenting a specific request, precisely to the recognition of the status that justifies international protection and political asylum.

Considering that more and more areas of the world are the epicenter of political, ideological, religious and military confrontation, guarantee political asylum and international protection It is not only correct but necessary.

Protecting those who seek to find safety and refuge in the territory of the Italian Republic or in another country of the free world has become the objective of International Lawyers Associates, the associated law firm that has fully invested the high skills and specializations of its members in the field of international law towards the admirable objective of guaranteeing respect for civil rights and maximum international protection for its clients.

As has been clarified, to obtain political asylum and international protection it is necessary to recognize refugee status. Therefore, it is convenient to understand what are the conditions that justify the recognition in question, recognition that, it should be noted, is produced at the request of lawyers from highly professional firms such as those who head International Lawyers Associates .

The provisions governing the recognition in question are contained in a 1954 Italian law that implements the well-known 1951 Geneva Convention. Some clarity is necessary since the political asylum, understood as an inalienable civil right, it is not automatically guaranteed to foreigners persecuted in the country of origin, requiring, as clarified, a specific prior request that authorizes lawyers to take care of everything necessary. obtain the protections underlying political asylum.

The discipline related to the protection of this civil right is not easy to interpret: that is why anyone who is interested in it is advised to trust the law firm International Lawyers Associates. This is a decisive step to obtain the recognition in question and thus obtain, in effect, the desired international protection.

• The request for political asylum, which, as has been clarified, presupposes the prior request for recognition of refugee status, presupposes the existence of a well-founded fear of being persecuted in one's country of origin for reasons of:

  • Race: skin color, ancestry, or membership in a specific ethnic group;
  • Religion: atheistic beliefs, participation / abstention in / from cult rites;
  • Other religious acts or professions of faith;
  • Nationality: understood even more broadly as belonging to a group characterized by a cultural, ethnic or linguistic identity, common geographical or political origins or by affinity with the population of another State;
  • Particular social group: that is, made up of members who share an innate characteristic or a common history / creed;
  • Political opinion: also understood as a thought or conviction opposed by the state or by the parties or organizations that control the state or a substantial part of the territory.

  There are many people who live in the conditions listed above, but even more are asylum seekers who have started to claim and protect their rights by turning to specialized law firms, including the international law firm International Lawyers Associates. This is a commendable service like few others ... because it is in the capacity to guarantee protection to the defenseless that the greatness and strength of a country is measured.
