Rwanda Migrant Plan Lawful, UK High Court Rules NewTimesRwanda: Rwanda
In a verdict delivered on Monday, Lord Justice Lewis said the policy, introduced under former Prime Minister Boris Johnson, was"consistent with the refugee convention".
He urged that the first eight people who were due to be sent to Rwanda had not had their circumstances"properly considered" by the former UK home secretary Priti Patel, and as a result, their cases will be referred back to the current home secretary, Suella Braverman,"for her to consider afresh". A first of its kind in the world, the deal seeks to promote"the dignity and empowerment of migrants", according to the officials from both countries.
Those who will benefit from the programme will have the option of applying for asylum locally and be facilitated to resettle in Rwanda or to be facilitated to return to their home country, having received support through the programme.
