意味

Asylum application; the formal process by which a person seeks official recognition as a refugee in another country.

A compound noun combining 難民 (refugee) and 申請 (formal application). Japan's asylum recognition rate has historically been extremely low compared to other developed nations, making 難民申請 a politically sensitive and heavily debated term domestically. Applicants must demonstrate a well-founded fear of persecution based on race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or social group membership.
