We are seriously concerned that the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill may be incompatible with our international obligations, and that it sets a dangerous legal and constitutional precedent by legislating to overturn an evidence-based finding of fact by UK courts.
Our briefing – prepared ahead of the committee stage on 16 January – explains in detail why we believe the Bill:
- is constitutionally improper
- bars access to justice
- is unworkable
