Asylum Not a Sure Thing

Embassies are perceived as safe havens for refugees. Hundreds of East Germans sought asylum at the West German embassies in the Czech Republic and Hungary at the end of the Cold War. Embassies and consulates are not required by law, however, to provide relief. Danish law, for instance, does not allow people to seek asylum from a Danish embassy, The Nation Breaking News reported on July 14, 2007 in connection with four North Korean nationals entering the Danish compound in Vietnam. -- Clemens Kochinke, Berliner, Corcoran & Rowe, LLP, Washington.
