right of asylum
The legally established right of a person to seek and receive protection (asylum) in another country if they are politically persecuted in their home country.
Das Asylrecht ist ein grundlegendes Menschenrecht, das in vielen Verfassungen verankert ist.
The right of asylum is a fundamental human right that is enshrined in many constitutions.
'Asylrecht' (right of asylum) is a compound noun made from 'das Asyl' (asylum/protection) and 'das Recht' (right/law). The 's' in the middle is a linking s, which connects the two words.
Die Debatte über das Asylrecht ist politisch sehr aufgeladen.
The debate about the right of asylum is politically very charged.
As a legal term, 'Asylrecht' (right of asylum) is often combined with certain verbs: 'das Asylrecht beantragen' (to apply for the right of asylum), 'gewähren' (to grant), 'einschränken' (to restrict), or 'sich darauf berufen' (to invoke it).
Ein Staat kann einer verfolgten Person Asylrecht gewähren.
A state can grant the right of asylum to a persecuted person.
A very common construction is 'das Recht auf Asyl' (the right to asylum). This is an alternative formulation that shows that 'Recht' (right) is often used with the preposition 'auf' and the accusative to specify the content of the right.
Im Grundgesetz ist das Recht auf Asyl für politisch Verfolgte verankert.
In the Basic Law, the right to asylum for politically persecuted people is enshrined.
asylum
Both words are connected with state protection for people who are politically persecuted. „Asyl“ is the specific protection that a person applies for or receives, whereas „Asylrecht“ refers to the legally established right to seek and receive this protection. Therefore, one applies for asylum, not the right of asylum.
Das Asylrecht ermöglicht politisch Verfolgten, in Deutschland Schutz zu suchen.
The right of asylum enables people who are politically persecuted to seek protection in Germany.
Die politisch verfolgte Frau beantragte in Deutschland Asyl.
The politically persecuted woman applied for asylum in Germany.
