Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum appeal regarding procedural defects in refugee status determination process.

The Supreme Court of Cassation dismissed the asylum applicant's appeal against the first-instance judgment. The applicant argued that the refugee status determination procedure violated fundamental rights due to insufficient procedural safeguards and lack of effective judicial review. The court held that the domestic administrative procedure complied with international obligations and that the applicant failed to demonstrate a violation of the principle of effective judicial protection.
