Rishi Sunak's controversial Rwanda Migrant Bill passed after UK Parliament Marathon | Oneindia

On Monday, the United Kingdom Parliament passed the contentious Rwanda deportation bill, marking a significant step toward its enactment into law.

Despite months of opposition from various quarters including Parliament, courts, and civil society, the bill received approval.

The primary point of contention had been the concern for the human rights of asylum seekers.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his Conservative party have been vigorously advocating for this legislation.

The bill aims to designate Rwanda as a safe third country, compelling judges to consider it as such.

Additionally, it seeks to grant decision-makers handling asylum applications the authority to bypass certain provisions of international and domestic human rights laws.

This move comes in response to a UK Supreme Court ruling that deems the deportation of migrants to Kigali as illegal.
