Scope note: El Artículo 14 de la Declaración Universal de los Derechos Humanos de 1948 afirma que (1) En caso de persecución, toda persona tiene derecho a buscar asilo, y a disfrutar de él, en cualquier país; (2) Este derecho no podrá ser invocado contra una acción judicial realmente originada por delitos comunes o por actos opuestos a los propósitos y principios de las Naciones Unidas. (Fuente: http://www.un.org/es/universal-declaration-human-rights/) La Convención de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Estatuto de los Refugiados de 1951 y el Protocolo de 1967 sobre el Estatuto de los Refugiados guían la legislación nacional relativa al asilo político. Según estos acuerdos, un refugiado (o en los casos en que los medios de base reprimidos han sido aplicados directa o ambientalmente al refugiado) es una persona que se encuentra fuera del territorio de su propio país (o lugar de residencia habitual si es apátrida) por temor a ser perseguido. jardines. Los motivos protegidos incluyen raza, casta, nacionalidad, religión, opiniones políticas y membresía y / o participación en cualquier grupo social o actividades sociales en particular. Presentar verdaderas víctimas de la persecución a su perseguidor es una violación particularmente odiosa de un principio llamado non-refoulement, parte de la Ley de las Naciones acostumbrada y trucial.
