Abstract
After the end of the world wars, one of the main crises in Europe is the influx of refugees. Following the establishment of the European Union controlling the refugee affairs in the territory of the European Union is considered as one of the most important priorities of the EU member states with regard to the protection of the rights of refugees. The present study seeks to examine how the rights of refugees are guaranteed in the European Union. The assumption is that the method of guaranteeing the rights of refugees can be examined in two stages. Upon arrival in the European Union, refugees shall be subject to the rules adopted by the EU's legislative bodies on the rights of refugees when registering and examining an asylum application and following the acceptance of their asylum application and residence in the Member States of the Union, their rights are guaranteed by the European Court of Human Rights through the establishment of important judicial precedent. The commitment to guarantee the rights provided to refugees by the initiatives of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights is in line with other human rights obligations in this area.
