There are a number of issues involved in asking for and granting asylum to refugees. Some of the most common issues include:

• Determining whether the person meets the definition of a refugee: To qualify for asylum, a person must show that they have been persecuted or fear persecution on account of their race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. This can be a difficult process, as the person must provide evidence of their persecution.
• Determining whether the person’s home country is safe to return to: Even if a person meets the definition of a refugee, they may not be granted asylum if their home country is now safe to return to. This can be a difficult decision, as it requires the asylum officer to assess the current political and security situation in the person’s home country.
• The availability of resources: Asylum seekers often have limited resources, and they may need financial assistance, housing, and other forms of support. This can be a challenge for asylum-receiving countries, as they may not have the resources to meet the needs of all asylum seekers.
• Public opinion: Public opinion can also play a role in the asylum process. In some countries, there is a lot of public support for asylum seekers, while in other countries there is more public opposition. This can make it difficult for governments to make decisions about asylum, as they may be concerned about public backlash.

Give one recent example of a group of people seeking asylum and the issues they encountered.

One recent example of a group of people seeking asylum is the Rohingya people of Myanmar. The Rohingya are a Muslim minority group who have been persecuted by the Myanmar government for decades. In 2017, the Myanmar military launched a brutal crackdown on the Rohingya, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee to Bangladesh. The Rohingya who have fled to Bangladesh are now seeking asylum in other countries, but they have faced a number of challenges. Many countries have refused to grant them asylum, and they have been forced to live in refugee camps in Bangladesh. The Rohingya have also faced discrimination and violence in Bangladesh, and they have been unable to access basic services.

Which countries of the world have accepted the most asylum seekers and which have accepted the least?

The countries of the world that have accepted the most asylum seekers in recent years are:

• Turkey
• Germany
• United States
• Pakistan
• Lebanon

The countries of the world that have accepted the least asylum seekers in recent years are:

• Japan
• South Korea

It is important to note that these numbers can vary depending on the source. For example, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) uses a different definition of asylum seeker than some other organizations. The UNHCR definition includes people who are seeking asylum in their own country, as well as people who have fled to another country. Other organizations only count people who have fled to another country.
