The UK-Rwanda asylum deal indicates a failure to make human rights a reality

Serious concerns continue to be raised over the UK-Rwanda asylum seekers’ deal, principally from a human rights perspective. The structural issues within the UK’s asylum system have hindered safe passage and resettlement for vulnerable people. For the system to be fair, a human rights-based approach must be adopted when designing and implementing policies. Of particular importance are the two stages of processing and implementation, which include the expressions of temporal fairness.
