** As a legal standard, the Asylum Act contains both material law as well as procedural law provisions. Within the procedural section however it contains only the necessary digressions from the administrative code and thus the administrative code applies in a substantiating manner to proceedings for granting international protection.

** The Asylum Act cannot be defined as a code, as the legal provisions for some of the issues pertaining to applicants for international protection, recognised refugees and persons with subsidiary protection are contained in other legal standards, such as the Education Act, social legislation, healthcare standards, etc.

The Asylum Act primarily resolves the conditions for the entry and stay of an alien who wishes to apply for international protection in the Czech Republic;

The rights and obligations of applicants for the granting of international protection, recognised refugees and persons under subsidiary protection; the procedure for the granting or withdrawal of international protection;

The conditions of receiving international protection; the competency of the Ministry of the Interior and other involved bodies; the state integration programme; and asylum facilities.

The Asylum Act :
** addresses the topic of international protection, i.e., specifically defines the basic terms – expression of intention to apply for international protection, application for international protection; applicant for international protection; recognised refugee; person under subsidiary protection; persecution.

Further, it defines various forms of international protection (asylum and subsidiary protection); the different types (asylum pursuant to Section 12, Section 13 and Section 14 and subsidiary protection pursuant to Section 14a and Section 14b); and the conditions for granting, withdrawing and terminating the specified forms of international protection

** addresses the conditions for receiving applicants for international protection and the accommodation conditions for recognised refugees and persons under subsidiary protection.
