Provisions on asylum applications in accordance with the Dublin Convention

Abstract

The Dublin Convention is part of European law with two main objectives:
 Establish a common framework for determining which country in the European Union (states that are part of the European Union known as Member States) shall decide on the application of the asylum seeker.
Ensure that one Member State handles each asylum application.
The full official designation of the Convention is  "the convention which specifies the State responsible for considering asylum applications submitted in a Member State". This agreement was agreed as part of a meeting of the European Union held in the capital of the Republic of Ireland, Dublin in January 1990, which is why it is known as the "Dublin Convention ".
The Convention was ratified by the Governments of the European Union in 1990 and signed by the United Kingdom in July 1992. However, the Dublin Convention is part of European law and can only enter into force after all Member States have already signed and passed it in their own parliaments. The Convention was finally ratified in 1997.
Prior to the entry into force of the Dublin Convention, most European Union member States used another law of European law,
