Abstract

This article examines whether law and practice in Greece with respect to access to the asylum procedure are in violation of EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). When the situation of asylum in Greece is examined, the discussion always focuses on low recognition rates and detention conditions. Although it can mean the nullification of the right in practice, the problem of access to the asylum procedure rarely makes headlines.

The present research aspires to shed light on the worrying situation of access, not from an international refugee law perspective but from a regional human rights one.
