UK’s Plan To Deport
Asylum Seekers to Rwanda , Ruled Lawful by High Court.
CNN reports that the controversial policy
was given the green light on Dec. 19.
The U.K. government can make arrangements
for asylum seekers to be sent to Rwanda to have their
claims processed if they entered the country illegally. .
But the High Court also criticized Home Secretary Suella Braverman for not properly assessing individuals' circumstances before transporting them.
[Braverman] must decide if there is anything about each person’s particular circumstances which means that his asylum claim should be determined in the United Kingdom or
whether there are other reasons why he
should not be relocated to Rwanda, Lord Justice Lewis, via statement.
[She] has not properly considered the circumstances of the eight individual claimants whose cases we have considered, Lord Justice Lewis, via statement.
Braverman must now reassess those eight cases.
While Britain's government partnership with Rwanda has been supported by ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Liz Truss, Rishi Sunak and most of the Conservative party.

Treating people who are in search of safety like human cargo and shipping them off to another country is a cruel policy that will cause great human suffering. The scheme is wrong in principle and unworkable in practice. , Enver Solomon, chief executive of the Refugee Council, via statement.
The U.K. intends to pay the East African country
$145 million over the next five years to host asylum seekers.

last year, according to estimates, Fumion Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan, via 'The Guardian'.
Japan is standing on the verge of whether
we can continue to function as a society.
Focusing attention on policies regarding
children and child-rearing is an issue that
cannot wait and cannot be postponed, Fumion Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan, via 'The Guardian'.
Kishida said that the new policies, including the launch
of a new children and families agency in April,
are meant to ensure the "sustainability" of Japan.
We must build a child-first
social economy to reverse
the [low] birthrate, Fumion Kishida, Prime Minister of Japan, via 'The Guardian'.
'The Guardian' reports that Japan's
previous efforts to boost the nation's
birthrate have had a limited impact.

have done little to address the difficulties
that discourage people from starting families.
With a population of 125 million, Japan has long
struggled with providing for the country's
fast-growing number of elderly residents
