The British government emphatically does not want human rights to hold up its controversial plans to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda. Conservative Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said a new bill would rule that key parts of the UK’s Human Rights Act, which govern human rights, cannot be applied in the case of Rwanda. This will ensure “our plan cannot be stopped,” Sunak said. The planned law is intended to declare Rwanda a safe third country.
The British government wants asylum seekers who come to the country illegally to immediately fly to the East African country, regardless of their origin. They would have to apply for asylum there, but returning to Britain is out of the question. The High Court in London also stopped the project on the grounds of constitutional deficiencies in Rwanda. The government believes that the new law will remove the reservations. Prime Minister Sunak is under significant pressure from the right to significantly reduce migration.
An extraordinary quote from Home Secretary James Cleverly on the first page of the draft caused a stir. It says it cannot say whether the law is compatible with the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The right wing of Sunak’s Conservative Party is demanding that Britain withdraw from the ECHR so that international courts can no longer block the project. (sda/dpa)
