It showed the interconnection between international and regional and Union law at the European Level and how countries comply -or not, with the system. The main findings of the thesis is that the European system for asylum and protection of refugees rights through the different European human rights tribunals are comprehensive but still imperfect and some member states still prefer violating their engagements no matter the sanctions, rather than respecting them.
