The International Law Commission has not discussed this very important issue since World War II ended and the United Nations was formed. An asylum seeker is someone who has applied for asylum and is wanting to hear back if they will or will not be able to immigrate to another country. These people, like refugees, are being prosecuted because of their religion nationality, political opinion, or race. In Cuba, article 209 of the Penal Code states “he who participates in meetings or demonstrations celebrated without respecting the dispositions that regulate this right, is committing a felony against public order.” This means that if someone was to express their opinion posing the dictatorship in Cuba, they will be arrested and become a convented felon.

As a result, they failed to offer sufficient cooperation and support in order to obtain justice for those who were victimized by both parties.…
