The Right of Asylum in Jurisprudence Perspective
Abstract
ABSTRACT
The right to asylum is mentioned as one of the human rights in the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights
(UDHR) to safeguard those people. When an individual believes that his or her life or freedom may be jeopardized
as a result of his or her ethnicity, religion, nationality, participation in a certain social group, or political beliefs, he
or she may seek asylum. The purpose of this paper is also to analyse the right to asylum and its international status
in addition to asylum cases that occurred in Malaysia. The methodology of this paper is qualitative by reviewing
various articles related to the right to asylum. According to the findings, the right to asylum can be granted in two
ways internationally: territorial asylum or extra-territorial asylum. The instances also show that more and more
countries are agreeing to safeguard asylum seekers. The majority of jurists agreed to grant the seeker the right to
asylum. However, a few of those jurists consider that specific conditions must be met to award rights to asylum. As
a result, the major outcome of this study is that nations and individuals are becoming more inclined to respect asylum
seekers’ rights constantly.
Keywords: human rights, jurist opinion, law, right of asylum, types of asylums.
