This is a refugee-status and asylum framework, regulated in Venezuela by the Constitution and the Organic Law on Refugees and Asylees (LORRAA).
La Constitución Bolivariana y la Ley Orgánica sobre Refugiados o Refugiadas y Asilados o Asiladas (LORRAA) regulan la materia sobre refugio y asilo.
Under international law, refugees are people forced to leave their country of origin to safeguard their life, physical integrity or freedom because of serious threats or persecution; the persecution or threats may relate to ethnic origin, religious beliefs, nationality, political convictions or membership of a particular social group, and may also result from conflicts, violence or disturbances of public order.
En el marco del derecho internacional, las personas refugiadas son aquellas que se han visto obligadas a abandonar su país de origen para salvaguardar su vida, integridad física o libertad debido a graves amenazas o persecuciones.
Las persecuciones o amenazas pueden tener relación con el origen étnico, las creencias religiosas, la nacionalidad, las convicciones políticas o la pertenencia a determinado grupo social; sin embargo, también pueden ser resultado de conflictos, violencia o alteraciones del orden público.
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm where and how protection is requested.
While the request is pending, the person is an asylum seeker: their request for recognition of refugee status is still being processed, and not everyone who applied for asylum will be recognised as a refugee. Refugees are protected by international law and, if their life or freedom is in danger, must not be sent back to their country of origin. The official source does not state registration steps, family handling or support during the procedure.
Una persona solicitante de asilo es aquella que huyó de su país de origen y, si bien solicitó asilo en otro país, su petición de reconocimiento de la condición de refugiado aún se encuentra en trámite.
Aunque no se reconocerá la condición de refugiado a todas las personas que hayan solicitado asilo, toda persona refugiada ha sido o fue, en algún momento, solicitante de asilo.
Las personas refugiadas cuentan con la protección del derecho internacional y, si su vida o su libertad corren peligro, no deben ser enviadas de vuelta a su país de origen.
The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the competent authority or official help channel.
