The UK government has introduced a bill to declare Rwanda a safe country for asylum seekers.

The UK government has introduced a bill that aims to declare Rwanda as a safe country for asylum seekers, a move that has sparked controversy and debate. The bill, known as the 'Safety of Rwanda Bill', is designed to prevent illegal migration delay tactics and to pave the way for processing people for relocation and starting removal flights to Rwanda.

The bill is a response to a ruling by the UK Supreme Court that deemed the government's proposed scheme to send asylum seekers to Rwanda as unlawful. It bypasses certain sections of the Human Rights Act and gives courts the ability to ignore injunctions from the European Court of Human Rights. This move has been described as potentially setting up a politically explosive fight with both the Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights.

The introduction of the bill has led to challenges within the ruling Conservative party. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is facing opposition from his own party members, with his immigration minister resigning and concerns being raised about whether he can get the legislation through parliament. The success of the Rwanda plan is crucial to Sunak's immigration policy and the Conservative Party's fortunes in the upcoming election.

Critics of the bill argue that it is unethical and unworkable to send migrants thousands of miles away with no chance of settling in the UK. Legal experts have warned that the bill could lead to a politically explosive fight with both the Supreme Court and European Court of Human Rights. Despite these criticisms, the government argues that a treaty signed with Rwanda will strengthen protection for migrants and make Rwanda a safe destination.
