They say the trips are intended to prevent people from making dangerous small boat trips to the UK to seek asylum. They say their removal is legal under rules that make asylum unacceptable if they have made dangerous and unnecessary trips from a safe third country such as France. About 130 migrants who have entered the UK are currently being held ready for flights as of next Tuesday, although at least 90 have filed individual legal remedies for their removal. Immigrants to be relocated to Rwanda are likely to be released into the community and could be spotted amid fears that they will try to escape if the government loses the battle for precautionary measures on Friday.
“Serious concerns about access to fair proceedings”
The UNHCR document submitted to the court stated that it had “serious concerns that asylum seekers moving from the UK to Rwanda will not have access to fair and efficient refugee status , with a consequent risk of deportation “. Refoulement is the legal term for the forcible return of refugees to a country where they may face persecution. He warned that the asylum system in Rwanda, where migrants are expected to seek refuge, is “developing”, as it has dealt heavily with refugees from neighboring countries such as Burundi. “In the assessment of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, there is a serious risk that the burden of processing asylum applications for new arrivals from the United Kingdom will further exceed the capacity of Rwanda’s national asylum system, thus undermining its ability to provide protection. all those seeking asylum. ” he said. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has concluded: “The UK-Rwanda agreement does not meet the required standards for the legality and adequacy of bilateral or multilateral transport of asylum seekers. “This regulation, which, among other concerns, seeks to shift responsibility and lacks the necessary safeguards, is incompatible with the letter and spirit of the 1951 Convention. “In the view of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, the UK-Rwanda agreement cannot be brought into line with international legal obligations through minor adjustments. “The serious concerns described in this analysis require urgent and appropriate consideration by the Governments of the United Kingdom and Rwanda in accordance with their obligations under established and binding rules of international refugee law.”
