I have never claimed it does mean that. It does mean they can chose where they seek asylum and the country where they seek asylum is legally obliged (if it is signatory) to treat them fairly whilst they fairly consider that application. That is the law.
Maximus wrote:For instance, US law dictates that they dont have to accept asylum seekers to the US if they are already in a third party country other than the original country that they are fleeing from.
Not if that other country itself does not respect their rights to seek asylum because the US can not just override is obligations under the international protocol it is a signatory too with domestic law.

I have never said or argued that such rights are carte blanche. It is a fallacy to suggest I have said that.

Still hiding behind your finger then max ? Firstly they can only receive their rights to asylum in Turkey if Turkey chooses to offer them such an opportunity. It is not legally obliged to do so because it retained the geographical restriction to people seeking asylum as a result of events in Europe when it signed the 67 protocol, as was it right and choice to do when it signed such. But that aside.
Do you think the north's leaderships since 74 till today has respected the rights of those GC and MC who remained in the north post 74 ? That they are all fine, suffer no persecution or discrimination ? That it can 'stop there' ? No of course you do not. Yet you will argue it is beyond any doubt that Turkey clearly fully respects the rights of those that seek asylum in Turkey when needed. That is what I call hiding behind your finger.
