EU Charter of Fundamental Rights

Articolo 18 - Diritto di asilo

Articolo 18 - Diritto di asilo

Il diritto di asilo è garantito nel rispetto delle norme stabilite dalla convenzione di Ginevra del 28 luglio 1951 e dal protocollo del 31 gennaio 1967, relativi allo status dei rifugiati, e a norma del trattato sull'Unione europea e del trattato sul funzionamento dell'Unione europea (in appresso denominati "i trattati").

    • Text:

      Il testo dell'articolo è stato basato sull'articolo 63 del trattato CE, ora sostituito dall'articolo 78 del trattato sul funzionamento dell'Unione europea, che impone all'Unione di rispettare la convenzione di Ginevra sui rifugiati. Occorre far riferimento alle disposizioni dei protocolli relativi al Regno Unito e all’Irlanda, allegati ai trattati, nonché di quello sulla Danimarca, per determinare in quale misura tali Stati membri applichino il diritto dell'Unione in materia e in quale misura il presente articolo sia loro applicabile. Tale articolo rispetta il protocollo sull’asilo allegato ai trattati.

      Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
      Le presenti spiegazioni erano state elaborate, nella versione iniziale, sotto l'autorità del praesidium della Convenzione che aveva redatto la Carta dei diritti fondamentali dell’Unione europea e sono ora state aggiornate sotto la responsabilità del praesidium della Convenzione europea, sulla scorta degli adeguamenti redazionali che quest’ultima Convenzione ha apportato al testo della Carta (in particolare agli articoli 51 e 52) e dell’evoluzione del diritto dell’Unione. Benché non abbiano di per sé status di legge, esse rappresentano un prezioso strumento d’interpretazione destinato a chiarire le disposizioni della Carta.

      3. Member States shall ensure that decisions by the determining authority on applications for international protection are taken after an appropriate examination. To that end, Member States shall ensure that:

      ‘1. Member States shall examine any application for international protection by a third-country national or a stateless person who applies on the territory of any one of them, including at the border or in the transit zones. The application shall be examined by a single Member State, which shall be the one which the criteria set out in Chapter III indicate is responsible.
      2. Where no Member State responsible can be designated on the basis of the criteria listed in this Regulation, the first Member State in which the application for international protection was lodged shall be responsible for examining it.
