Sažetak
Poznavanje prava na azil kako je ono zajamčeno u propisima predstavlja poveznicu između teorijskog razumijevanja pravnog sustava i njegove primjene u kontekstu zaštite temeljnih ljudskih prava. Uzimajući u obzir važnost problematike azila / međunarodne zaštite u hrvatskom kontekstu, cilj je rada istražiti do koje su mjere studenti prava u Hrvatskoj tijekom studija informirani o tematici vezanoj uz azil i međunarodnu zaštitu, koje znanje o pravima koja proizlaze iz statusa azila pokazuju te koliku važnost pridaju ostvarenju tih prava. Rad se temelji na kvalitativnoj analizi izvedbenih planova i programa obveznih i izbornih predmeta četiri Pravna fakulteta – u Zagrebu, Rijeci, Splitu i Osijeku, te anketnom istraživanju studenata prava istih fakulteta u dvije točke mjerenja – 2019. i 2024. godine. Rezultati pokazuju da je tema azila i prava koja proizlaze iz ovoga statusa nedovoljno sustavno obrađena i uvelike ovisi o izboru kolegija ili interesu pojedinih nastavnika i studenata za teme vezane uz problematiku azila. Rezultati istraživanja upućuju na ograničenu razinu znanja studenata prava o temi azila, pri čemu se uočava negativan trend u znanju o pravima azilanata u RH između 2019. i 2024. godine. Pritom u oba ciklusa studenti 4. godine studija iskazuju u prosjeku nešto bolje znanje od studenata 1. godine. Studenti koji iskazuju bolje znanje o pravima azilanata pridaju i veću važnost ostvarenju tih prava, no ne iskazuju interes za vlastitim aktivnim profesionalnim angažmanom uvezi s ovom tematikom.

Summary
Knowledge of the right to asylum, as guaranteed by legal regulations, represents a crucial link between the theoretical understanding of the legal system and its practical application in the protection of fundamental human rights. Given the significance of asylum/international protection in the Croatian context, this paper aims to examine the extent to which law students in Croatia are informed about these issues during their studies, the level of their knowledge concerning the rights arising from asylum status, and the importance they attribute to the realisation of such rights. The research is based on a qualitative analysis of the curricula of compulsory and elective courses at four Croatian law schools – Zagreb, Rijeka, Split, and Osijek – and on a survey conducted among law students at these institutions at two time points: 2019 and 2024. The findings indicate that the topic of asylum and the rights associated with it are not systematically addressed in the curricula and largely depend on course selection and individual instructors’ and students’ interests in asylum issues. Furthermore, law students’ overall knowledge remains limited, with the 2024 results showing a decline in understanding of asylum seekers’ rights compared to 2019. In both survey cycles, fourth-year students demonstrated, on average, a somewhat higher level of knowledge than first-year students. Students who exhibited greater knowledge about asylum issues also placed more importance on the realisation of related rights, although they did not express a strong interest in active professional engagement with this subject.
