Summary/Abstract: By analyzing relevant case-law of the Court of Justice of the European Union, such as C-405/07 Elgafaji, C-31/09 Bolbol, C-411/10 N.S., joined with C-493/10 M. E. and others, C-4/11 Kaveh Puid, the present paper aims to clarify the manner in which the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union contributed to the interpretation of European Union legislation regarding asylum and migration, and, subsequently, how it referred to other relevant international or regional treaties. Also, the paper aims to offer a fair assessment of the importance of the rulings of the Court in matters of asylum and immigration.
