Summary/Abstract: Refugees are holders of a fixed number of rights laid down in the Convention of Geneva on the status of refugees, which reflects the protection of human rights. The application of these rights may vary in terms of the refugee’s situation in the territory. An important element for asylum seekers and other migrants is that their rights should be exercised based on equality and freedom, with no discrimination on such grounds as race, colour, gender, language, religion, political opinion, national or social origin, fortune or any other different status that a person may have. The Romanian legislation, particularly Law No. 122/2006 on asylum in Romania, unambiguously regulates and guarantees the rights of asylum seekers, that is, the rights of those who enjoy one of the acknowledged forms of protection, namely, the status of refugee, the subsidiary protection or the temporary protection.
