| Title | Access to Asylum: the Case for a Layered Approach to the Right to Asylum and its Corresponding State Obligations |
| Summary | This research confronts the gap between what is pledged in international human rights law and what is available to asylum seekers in real life. It explores the following questions: What are states’ obligations as a result of the right to asylum? What obstacles prevent those in need of protection from accessing asylum, and how can states be held to account for their failure to meet their international obligations? Is there an approach which could alleviate the problem and better ensure the ability of individuals to claim their right to asylum? The work proposes the Maastricht Principles as a means of concretising the precise state duties which result from the right to asylum and increase state accountability, in order to demonstrate that there exists an alternative approach to state obligations which could ensure that individuals are better able to claim the right to asylum. |
