TWO LAW Lords have ruled that the government’s policy of deporting asylum seekers from around the world to Rwanda is “consistent” with the refugee convention and other legal treaties.
Lord Justice Lewis said that the Home Secretary failed to properly consider the individual circumstances of eight cases and those decisions must be reconsidered, which means those eight cannot currently be deported. A planned charter flight to Rwanda was halted in June after courts removed all deportees on human rights grounds, and the European Court of Human Rights ruling the plan carried “a real risk of irreversible harm.”The legal challenge to the Rwanda policy was based on the argument that Rwanda is not a safe country and the deportations breach international treaties.
The central African country, which has a population density higher than Britain, is beset with unemployment, political oppression,and is engaging in conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo which threatens to spill over.
