Safe Countries

A safe country of origin, defined within the Geneva Convention, is free from international or internal armed conflict. One that does not persecute, use the threat of violence or torture its citizens, whether temporarily or permanently. Furthermore, it neither endorses nor implements inhuman, degrading treatments or punishments. Lastly, it operates a democratic system, and the general political environment allows for civil freedoms. Each country implements its own definition of what makes a safe country, and all countries do not use one list

IMPORTANT The distance to safe countries list has been compiled using well-known indices to indicate likely countries considered safe. Gayther does not give any warranties or guarantees relating to the accuracy and completeness of any information displayed, and you use it at your own risk.
