Summary/Abstract: For decades, the European Union (EU, the Union) has pursued a purposeful and active policy to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all its citizens, thus affirming the core values on which the unique European union is built. Moreover, the Union carries out various activities aimed at providing protection to third-country nationals who, due to various factors, need international protection. This EU approach is reflected in European policies governing the granting of asylum to certain groups of vulnerable foreign nationals. The practical implementation of these policies was most noticeable in 2015, when the EU first faced such a serious migration and refugee crisis. Today, the Union is facing the same serious challenge, but at the same time other modern challenges have arisen, such as the current global pandemic, financial instability in some Member States, and complex geopolitical relations. This report will present an analysis of European asylum policies and their implementation in the face of contemporary societal challenges.
