asylum
asylum n. 庇护所；庇护 指避难地或教堂庇护所。在古希腊，庙殿和祭坛不可侵犯，在神保护下的人或物不能通过暴力被由此驱走。在罗马帝国，皇帝的雕像和军团的鹰旗可以作为针对暴力行为的避难场所，特别是对那些遭受虐待的奴隶和逃犯提供庇护。根据基督教教义，庇护或避难的习俗属于教堂或教堂墓地。在现代，该词经常用来指对遭受不幸的人，尤其患有精神疾病的人给予保护和救济的机构，现在称为精神病院。国际法上，每一国家均有对其本国国民给予庇护，也有权对来自他国的难民或逃亡者予以庇护。这是基于一国的属地管辖权。因此，只要被允许进入和居留在外国领土，就获得了庇护并且可以此对抗其本国的权利要求。但许多国家都通过条约中规定的引渡条款对庇护权加以限制。在战时，中立国可以给予交战国的陆军或军舰一定期限的庇护。 (→extradition)
