A
The principle that asylum seekers should not be returned to a country where they would face persecution or other serious harm.
💡 Explanation:
The principle of non-refoulement is a fundamental principle of international law that prohibits the return of asylum seekers to a country where they would face persecution or other serious harm. This principle is based on the recognition that asylum seekers are fleeing persecution and that returning them to their country of origin would put them at risk of further harm.
