The safe country concepts

The concepts of safe country of origin, first country of asylum and safe third country are set out in the Asylum Act.^[1] The application of the safe third country and first country of asylum concept may lead to the asylum application being dismissed as inadmissible by the Asylum Office, although the asylum seeker may be able to prove that the country in question is not safe in his or her individual case.
