Summary/Abstract: The paper explores and discusses the application of the non-refoulement' rule (Geneva Convention). At the time of massive inflows of refugees from the Middle East, European states are put under major pressure. Being signatories of the main refugee treaties, European states should avoid automatic repatriation of asylum seekers. In order to avoid such violations, it is necessary to incorporate the main Geneva articles into European national legal systems.
