The Reduction of the «Right to be heard» in the Procedure for the Recognition of the International Protection

The article aims to show the shortcomings found in the European and national legislations related to the procedure for the recognition of the international protection where it is evident a restriction of the "right to be heard" of the asylum seeker, as no norm forces States to provide him/her with legal aid. This gap has serious consequences and for these reasons the work of those who provide free legal advice to asylum seekers is invaluable: among these, the University of Brescia with the Aslym and Immigration Clinic course.
