Article L513-3 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

The authorities likely to offer protection may be the authorities of the State or of parties or organisations, including international organisations, which control the State or a significant part of its territory. Such protection must be effective and not temporary.
Such protection is in principle ensured where the authorities defined in the first subparagraph take appropriate measures to prevent persecution or serious harm, in particular where they have an effective judicial system for detecting, prosecuting and punishing acts constituting such persecution or harm, and where the applicant has access to such protection.

Article L513-3


Les autorités susceptibles d’offrir une protection peuvent être les autorités de l’Etat ou des partis ou organisations, y compris des organisations internationales, qui contrôlent l’Etat ou une partie importante de son territoire de celui-ci. Cette protection doit être effective et non temporaire.
Une telle protection est en principe assurée lorsque les autorités définies au premier alinéa prennent des mesures appropriées pour empêcher les persécutions ou les atteintes graves, en particulier lorsqu’elles disposent d’un système judiciaire effectif permettant de déceler, de poursuivre et de sanctionner les actes constituant de telles persécutions ou de telles atteintes, et lorsque le demandeur a accès à cette protection.
