What is an Asylum Claim?

Amnesty International Definition of Asylum Claim

An asylum claim is a request made by an individual seeking international protection from persecution or serious harm in their home country. This claim is typically made when the person crosses an international border and applies for legal recognition as a refugee.

Key Aspects of an Asylum Claim

  • Eligibility: To qualify for asylum, the individual must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on factors such as race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group.
  • Process: The asylum seeker must submit their claim to the relevant authorities in the country where they seek protection. This process often involves a legal assessment to determine if the individual meets the criteria for refugee status.
  • Rights During the Process: While awaiting a decision on their claim, asylum seekers are entitled to certain rights, including protection from being returned to danger (non-refoulement) and access to basic services.

As of mid-2025, there were approximately 8.4 million asylum seekers worldwide, highlighting the ongoing need for international protection for those fleeing conflict and persecution.

How are United Nations Charter Asylum Claims Managed in Host Countries?

That friends is the million dollar question. First off, sovereign nations are required to honor asylum claims including legal representation once a hearing date is established. The reality is that immigration hearings often follow several years later, during which time host countries like Canada go out of their way to avoid addressing the merits of such claims. At least that is what seems to be the basis of what is reported below. Dilatory conduct is by far not the worst step taken. What many countries do is take advantage of the vulnerable position of asylum and refugee seekers via bribes and cover ups from the country of origin e.g. the country against whom the asylum/refugee claim is filed. That is the case with Canada -- or, again, at least what seems to be alleged below. At the same time there seems to be a conflict with Canada's "rankings" with reality.

"Canada ranks high in various international assessments of human rights, often recognized for its strong legal frameworks and protections for civil liberties. In the 2025 Freedom in the World report, Canada received a score of 97 out of 100, indicating a high level of political rights and civil liberties." Canadaaction.ca

Well, something sure seems a little off. According to the complaint below it refers to the CIA and FBI which are components of the United States of America. Does that mean the country against whom the asylum claim is filed is the USA? Sure looks like it. Could it be that the above quoted numbers, via Canadaaction, do no factor in claims involving the USA fielded by Canada? Now, we have clarity. Canada talks out of both sides of its mouth, maybe? You betcha. So back to the ultimate question of how asylum claims are managed? That would seem to be a matter squarely within the purview of the United Nations and/or the International Criminal Court. The devil is in the details.
