Who Killed Asylum? The Debate Over Its Collapse
Original: Who Killed Asylum?
Jacobin examines the erosion of the right to seek asylum, arguing that wealthy Western states have progressively dismantled legal protections for refugees through border closures, externalized processing, and restrictive legislation. The piece asks which political actors bear responsibility for hollowing out a system established after World War II, framing the question amid tightening immigration policies across Europe and the United States.
Why now: Ongoing crackdowns on asylum rights in the US and Europe have renewed debate over the fate of the international refugee system.
