Abstract

It can be said that the idea of asylum is as old as the dawn of humanity. Perhaps, this is why there is a panoply of legislation and literature (international and/or European) which directly and/or indirectly characterises this phenomenon. However, in our opinion, a true Asylum Law does not effectively exist in the European Union, at least, in the sense that it is traditionally considered, as a set of harmonious and correlated rules. What we have are several asylum policies, which vary among the different Member States .
