As the go-to source of information on international protection in Europe, the EASO Asylum Report series provides a comprehensive overview of key developments in asylum in European Union Member States, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland (EU+ countries). Starting with a brief overview of forced displacement globally, the report narrows in on the context of Europe and summarises changes step-by-step throughout all aspects of the Common European Asylum System (CEAS). The report presents selected case law which has shaped the interpretation of European and national laws, as well as key statistical indicators for the 2020 reference year which highlight emerging trends and the effectiveness of asylum systems.
