Italian court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under EU law.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum application filed by a foreign national who could not substantiate a risk of persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning to their nation would violate fundamental rights, but the court found the evidence insufficient to establish a well-founded fear of harm. Consequently, the claim was rejected because the burden of proof regarding non-refoulement was not met according to established jurisprudence.
