Abstract

The so-called refugee and migration crisis from 2015 onwards has shed new light on the status of the right to asylum and the non-refoulement principle. A survey of recent state practice shows that there is still not generally accepted universal individual right to asylum. On the con-trary, the international community as a whole and the EU in particular are increasingly reluc-tant to accept refugees on their territory. Nevertheless, states are not free to regulate the entry and stay of foreigners as they please. While the prohibition of extraditions, expulsions, or de-portations of individuals to countries where they face a serious risk of mistreatment remains untouched, Europe cooperates with transit countries to prevent asylum seekers from reaching its borders in the first place.
