UK Passes Bill , to Send Asylum Seekers to Rwanda.
Following two years of challenges, British parliament has passed the controversial bill, CNN reports.
The U.K. government will now be able to
redirect asylum seekers to Rwanda, where their claims will be weighed by the East African country.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak celebrated
the bill's passage on April 23. .
We introduced the Rwanda Bill to
deter vulnerable migrants from
making perilous crossings and
break the business model of the
criminal gangs who exploit them. , Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.
The passing of this legislation will
allow us to do that and make it very
clear that if you come here illegally,
you will not be able to stay, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, via statement.
The U.N. and human rights activists
have condemned the bill. .
Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner
for Refugees, said.
“Protecting refugees requires
all countries – not just those neighboring
crisis zones – to uphold their obligations.”.
This arrangement seeks to shift responsibility
for refugee protection, undermining
international cooperation and setting
a worrying global precedent, Filippo Grandi, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees, via statement .
Amnesty International U.K. referred to the legislation
as "a stain on this country’s moral reputation" , which "takes a hatchet to international legal protections for some of the most vulnerable people in the world.".
