Note(s)
1. In the European Union, the right to asylum is enshrined in Art. 18 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
2. Refugees have no enforceable right in conventional international law to be granted asylum by a State. It is contested whether customary international law has embraced the individual right to asylum.
