Julian Assange
“We’re thrilled that the thousands of refugees arriving in Ecuador from Colombia and elsewhere now will be able to depend on greater protection under Ecuadorian law,” said Asylum Access Ecuador director Karina Sarmiento. This topic is highly supported by the Ecuadorian government ready to help every person seeking political refuge like Julian Assange that was granted political asylum in 2012. Therefore, we insist on the discussion of this topic to make sure every person must gain asylum if it's proven that they are under persecution of any kind.

In addition, to help improve the assylees social, economical, health and educational status, teams from the UN must be dispatched to all countries to calculate and list all legal and illegal refugees so everyone could be treated fairly and equally by the government .The Republic of Ecuador confirms that seeking asylum is an obligatory prerogative that must be applied in all nations to defend humans under persecution, and penalize country's refusing asylum seekers' requests. Finally, the political asylum case must be taken into important consideration by this committee to create further resolutions guaranteeing all asylees

    Chapter five in Illegality Inc examines the life African migrants are faced with once they have managed to cross the border into Ceuta. Although, they believed “fortune was smiling upon them”, many hoped and desired to receive refugee status but, ended up as “Europe's most abject Other”-illegal immigrants. As previously explored, the term illegal immigrant carries with it a negative connotation and is even viewed as a stigma, both home and abroad. As the primary object of scrutiny, pity, and coercion it would not be long before these migrants rebelled and began protesting against their confinement by occupying downtown Ceuta. Evidence of the building discontent amongst migrants is displayed in this quote, “ We are not newborns,” “We are men” (pg. 185). Without permission to work, residents of the camp were forced to accept any handouts coming their way. Migrants are people filled with dignity, pride, and…

    There is actually a difference between an asylum seeker and a refugee. An asylum seeker is someone who is looking for international protection, but their claim to be labelled as a refugee has not yet been determined. While a refugee is a person who has been recognized under the 1951 Convention relating to the status of a refugee. The Convention states that a “refugee” is any person who: owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his/her nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.1…

    Elian Gonzalez, a six-year-old boy, boarded a boat with his mother to leave Cuba and sail to the United States. During the passage, the boat capsized. Elian’s mother died, along with ten other passengers. Elian’s father was still in Cuba. After being admitted to a local hospital, Elian’s great-uncle Lazaro Gonzalez contacted the Immigration and Naturalization Service (“INS”). A few days later, Lazaro petitioned for asylum on Elian’s behalf. Not long after, another petition for asylum was filed, signed by Elian. A third request for asylum was then filed by Lazaro on Elian’s behalf after he was awarded temporary custody in a state court action. The three petitions were similar, citing that Elian was afraid to return to Cuba alleging persecution and the potential of being used as a propaganda tool for the Cuban government. Elian’s father, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, had sent a letter to Cuban officials requesting that Elian be returned to Cuba. This letter was subsequently forwarded to the INS.…

    Her discussion of the specific challenges international victims must overcome in order to seek help provides context for the implementation of international law. Victims must deal with fear of physical and emotional abuse, fear of legal repercussions, and lack of familiarity with the local area.

Because Franco includes a description of trafficking in her article, her argument that victims deserve better treatment from the government elicits sympathy for the cause from…

    A refugee is a person who leaves his or her country due to a well-founded fear of persecution because of his or her race, religion, nationality, political views, or membership in a particular social group. Once a host country accepts an asylum seeker to become a refugee, the host county has a moral obligation to ease the transition from a refugee to a fully participating citizen. This may include subsidized housing, job training, and other financial and social services. This is good for the incoming refugee and good for the economy of the host country. Refugees deserve to be supported financially.…

    Those seeking asylum within the United Kingdom and the United States are confronted with obstacles that are in direct opposition to the responsibilities to refugees as per United Nations Council Resolutions (1967). The US and UK have implemented deterrence policies that classify these asylum seekers as deviant outsiders (Frey& Zhao, 2011). The employment of widespread use of detention, the passing of legislation that deny this fundamental human right to protection, as well as the negative depiction of asylum seekers in the press all combine to effectively criminalize protection seekers (Hassan, 2000). This paper seeks to illustrate the various policies by which the asylum seeker in US and UK is criminalized, and contextualization of this process…

    Central American families encounter overwhelming obstacles to due process in detention; for example, the process of expedited removal places families who are eligible for asylum at risk of deportation. Although refugees in removal proceedings have the right to legal aid, nearly 40% of all detention facilities are located 60 miles or from a metro area (Human Rights First, 2011). Because its difficult to access legal services, roughly 84% of women and children face their removal proceedings without representation (Srikantiah, Hausman, & Weissman-Ward, 2015). Although the immigration judge and opposing counsel are obligated to educate detainees on the asylum process, this seldom occurs.…
