Though few of them have any way at all of escaping it is now that the legal basis for asylum must be revised so that such a crisis may be avoided. |
|
We must face the fact that the legal basis for asylum should not have been drawn up when hardly anyone had a chance to escape. |
|
Basic to the whole disastrous situation is the fact that the legal basis for asylum dates back to a time when it was almost impossible for anyone to seek it. |
|
When the legal basis of asylum was devised it was assumed that very few people would ever seek it and such a crisis as this was not expected. |
|
As few people ever managed to escape, it was felt that a legal basis for asylum was unnecessary and this is the major cause of the problem. |
