Italian Supreme Court dismisses asylum claim where applicant failed to prove non-refoulement risk under Art. 3 ECHR.

The Corte di Cassazione dismissed the asylum application filed by the applicant, who alleged a risk of torture in his home country. The applicant argued that Italian authorities failed to conduct a thorough individual assessment of his specific fears, while the state contended the evidence did not meet the threshold for protection. The court ruled that without concrete proof of a well-founded fear of persecution or inhuman treatment, the claim cannot be sustained under Article 3 of the ECHR.
