Abstract
The purpose of this essay is to indicate that asylum law essentially derives from international commitments made in the aftermath of the Second World War. We then present, by way of illustration, the structure and main mechanisms of the common European asylum system. Finally, we will present the analyses of some of the economic studies dealing specifically with the question of asylum law.
