[edit] bias
I think that the section on Asylum in France seems quite biased, with no supporting evidence for the rather extreme claim that asylum has been "practically abandoned." Besides being one-sided, this might also make it less likely that some potential asylum-seekers will apply, if they think the system is impossible because of a misleading article.
I think this page should have details on the claims added, or be rendered more neutral. --Seanose 18:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] safe countries
Regarding the "safe countries" in the France section, from this link, "It's important to point out that asylum applications submitted by nationals of safe countries of origin will neither be systematically rejected, nor considered inadmissible, since the guarantee of a detailed examination of each case will in fact be respected in accordance with our constitutional principles."
Whether it's propaganda or not, I don't know.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.61.134.116 (talk • contribs) .
[edit] United Kingdom

[edit] Gender-neutral language
In accordance with NPOV policy, this article needs to be modified to use gender-neutral pronouns. Owen 20:38, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] left wing extremist in usa
can a left wing extremist american apply for asylum anywhere in the world. since usa is a right wing country, a left wing extremist may feel threatened by the right wing mainstream. for example, the left winger may disagree strongly with capitalism and religion, the two core beliefs of the u.s. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.139.244.236 (talk) 03:33, 1 January 2007 (UTC).
- Some Americans have tried to claim asylum in, for example, Canada, but I'm not sure how successful they've been. It would be hard for an American to prove that they had a well-founded fear of persecution because of their political beliefs. Cordless Larry 17:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] University Asylum concept absent
In Greece there is a certain law concerning the Asylum provided by greek universities to anyone that seeks it. According to this law, no police officer can enter the university while being on duty without the permition of the university's dean. Therefore, no alleged criminal can be arrested or procecuted while being within the university walls. This right is quite often abused by anarchist groups in Athens and other cities of Greece where anarchists would play some sort of hide-and-seek with the police officers by only getting out of the walls to throw molotovs and rocks, and then go back inside when the police forces would attempt to approach them. This law was probably an outcome of the November 17th episodes and therefore has a significant emotional importance to many people resulting to its difficulty to be changed or abolished. I feel that this division of the Asylum concept is pretty important and should be mentioned, but I don't think I have the necessary writting skills to do so myself. There are some websites that mention the law and the problems that arise from its use (and abuse): http://www.greekembassy.nl/press/article7831.html , http://athens.indymedia.org/front.php3?lang=el&article_id=607421 , http://www.hri.org/news/greek/ana/2007/07-01-20.ana.html#06 Stelimili 16:58, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
