There are two basic types of asylum protection in France: refugee status, and subsidiary protection.

A. Refugee Status

Refugee status is defined as belonging to “any person persecuted for his/her action in favor of liberty” as well as any person over whom the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) has competence under articles 6 and 7 of its statute, and any person who is covered by article 1 of the 1951 Geneva Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees.[12] This includes any person

To the criteria of race, religion, nationality, or political opinion as the reason for persecution, French law adds gender and sexual orientation as factors to consider.[14] The persecution feared by the asylum seeker does not necessarily have to come from his/her country’s government. The fear of persecution at the hands of non-state actors is also a valid cause to obtain refugee status, if the country’s government is unable or unwilling to protect the asylum seeker from such persecution.[15]]

A person may be denied refugee status, or such status may be revoked, if (a) there is serious reason to believe that his/her presence in France presents a grave threat to the security of the state; or (b) he/she was found guilty of an act of terrorism or of a crime punished by more than ten years of incarceration, and his/her presence in France presents a grave threat to society.[16]

B. Subsidiary Protection

Subsidiary protection is given to any person who does not fulfill the conditions to be recognized as a refugee, but for whom there are serious and known reasons to believe that he/she is in real danger of suffering the following violations in his/her country: (a) execution, (b) torture or inhumane or degrading treatment, or (c) if the person is a civilian, a serious and individual threat to his/her life or person by reasons of indiscriminate violence in situations of international or internal armed conflict.[17] Subsidiary protection may be denied to a person when there are serious reasons to believe that (a) he/she has committed a crime against peace, a war crime, or a crime against humanity; (b) he/she has committed a serious crime; (c) he/she is guilty of acts contrary to the objectives and principles of the United Nations; or (d) his/her activity on French territory presents a grave threat to public order, public security, or the security of the state.[18] Furthermore, subsidiary protection may be denied to a person if there is serious reason to believe that he/she has committed a crime that would be punishable by prison if it had been committed in France, and that he/she only left his/her country of origin to escape punishment for that crime.[19]
