Asylum law in Germany is closely linked to international agreements and European regulations. The Geneva Refugee Convention<\/strong>that Dublin procedure<\/strong> and the EU asylum policy<\/strong> determine how people seeking protection are treated in Germany and the EU.<\/p>\n

1 The Geneva Refugee Convention and its influence on German asylum law<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (GRC)<\/strong> of 1951 is the most important international agreement for the protection of refugees. It defines who is considered a refugee and what rights refugees have.<\/p>\n

Key points of the Geneva Refugee Convention:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Protection for persons who are Race, religion, nationality, membership of a social group or political conviction<\/strong> be pursued.<\/li>\n
  • Prohibition of Deportation to a country where there is a risk of persecution.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Refugees must live in a host country the same rights as locals<\/strong> in terms of work, education and social security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Influence on German asylum law:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Germany grants protection status under the Geneva Convention<\/strong> via \u00a7 3 of the Asylum Act.<\/li>\n
    • Persons who are Refugees recognized under the Refugee Convention<\/strong> will initially receive a. Residence permit for 3 years<\/strong>then a Permanent settlement permit<\/strong> can be applied for.<\/li>\n
    • In Germany, the rights of refugees are mostly better<\/strong> than in many other countries, as access to social benefits, work and integration is promoted.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Example:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

      A journalist from an authoritarian country who is threatened for critical reporting can be recognized as a refugee in Germany<\/p>\n

      2. asylum law in Germany vs. asylum law in the EU - Where are the differences?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      Although the EU member states have common rules, there are Differences in the implementation of asylum law<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Germany:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Recognized refugees have access to the labor market, social benefits and educational opportunities<\/li>\n
      • Strict procedure for recognition, but relatively high protection rates<\/li>\n
      • \"Safe countries of origin\" are restricted - e.g. people from the Western Balkans hardly ever receive asylum<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Other EU countries:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
          \n
        • Different recognition rates - in one country a person can be recognized as a refugee, in another not<\/li>\n
        • Some countries have Stricter regulations<\/strong> or worse conditions for asylum seekers (e.g. Greece, Hungary)<\/li>\n
        • Social support and accommodation varies greatly between countries<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Example:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

          A Syrian refugee receives in Germany with 80 % Probability<\/strong> protection, in Hungary it is only 10 %<\/strong> - despite the same Geneva Refugee Convention<\/p>\n
