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 an applicant who could not substantiate a well-founded fear of persecution. The applicant argued that returning to their home country would expose them to severe human rights violations, but the court found no credible evidence supporting these claims. Consequently, the court ruled that the domestic and international legal standards for asylum protection were not met.
