Dublin Regulation

The Dublin Regulation is a European Union regulation that determines which EU member state is responsible for examining an application for asylum. It aims to prevent applicants from submitting multiple applications and reduce the number of "orbiting" asylum seekers. The regulation forms part of the Common European Asylum System and is based on the principle that the first member state where fingerprints are stored or an asylum claim is lodged is responsible for the claim. The regulation has undergone several changes, including the adoption of the Dublin II Regulation in 2003 and the Dublin III Regulation in 2013, which replaced the previous regulation and applies to all member states except Denmark. The regulation is set to be replaced by the Asylum and Migration Management Regulation in 2024.learn more on wikipedia
