This study examines Swedish asylum legislation from a European perspective. Although EU Member States are bound by common rules and standards for the protection and reception of asylum seekers, States might differ in the interpretation and implementation of the common rules. The report focuses on the grounds for protection, residence permits and family reunification and analyses the way in which Sweden and other Member States have used the discretion allowed by EU law and the European Convention on Human Rights. The study seeks to offer a solid and up-to-date account on Swedish legislation on asylum and contribute to the debate on how the future of Swedish migration policy could be redesigned to align with international standards.
