The study intends to examine the extent of implementation of asylum-related judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union and their impact on relevant asylum policies across the EU.

● Identify national and EU-level guidance documents as well as national jurisprudence which interpret the judgments or key concepts included therein;

● Analyse whether the CJEU judgments are interpreted divergently across the selected EU Member States;
