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 the applicant, who alleged persecution in their home country. The applicant argued that returning to their nation would expose them to severe human rights violations, while the state contended the evidence was insufficient to establish a well-founded fear. The court ruled that the applicant failed to meet the legal threshold required to prove a risk of refoulement under applicable international and EU standards.
