March 28. 1954. Until 1972. U.S. policy on asylumincluding diplomatic asylumwas carried out on the basis of long accepted general understandings and traditional U.S. conceptions and was not spelled out in any single place. The Kudirka Incident In 1970 resulted in a full. interagency review of asylum policy. This policy closely follows that which has been historically followed by the U.S.. though with some exceptions in execution. The principal change in the 1972 policy was to provide granting of temporary refuge for humanitarian reasons wherein the life or safety of a person is put in danger. such as pursuit by a mob.
