Brigitte Espuche : « Le Royaume-Uni se défausse de ses responsabilités en matière d’asile »
Le Royaume-Uni a franchi le pas de la sous-traitance de l’asile en signant un accord avec le Rwanda, en avril dernier, afin d’y envoyer ses demandeurs d’asile. Mais la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme en a décidé autrement, clouant le premier avion au sol mi-juin.
Rwanda asylum deal not legally binding : Law Society

RWANDA legal challenge latest. Later than I had hoped due to other commitments. Today was an important day because we got to hear the government’s full legal arguments for the first time. Some takeaways:
First off, Lord David Pannick QC is leading for the government (yes the very same). One of his lines of defence is quite simple amid the 100,000,000s of documents in this case.
Basically… back in 2004 Tony Blair’s government passed an immigration act that gives ministers the power to send an asylum seeker to another safe country. Here’s the relevant part of that power
▻https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2004/19/schedule/3/part/5
That power says the Home Secretary can transfer an asylum seeker to another state, providing they’re not a citizen of that place and - importantly - she is of the “opinion” that a) they will be safe and b) they won’t be bundled on a plane to somewhere that’s dangerous.
And that’s basically the heart of it. Lord Pannick today told the court that it could not decide for itself that the Home Secretary should comply with some other criteria that Parliament had not written into the law.
Lord Pannick: “The obligation on the UK is to either assess the claim or return the asylum seeker to a safe third country. If we choose to return the individual to a third country that is safe, then we, the UK, have complied with our obligations under the Refugee Convention.”
He added that while the Convention bans governments from imposing “penalties” on asylum seekers, that would not apply to sending them to a safe third country. (The other side say relocation to Rwanda would be a penalty.)
Now the pinch point in all of this for the government is the UN Refugee Agency’s warning that it does not think Rwanda has the capacity to manage the migrants and it may not treat people fairly and well. (See yesterday’s thread).
So the government is making a big play in court that the deal it has struck with Rwanda is water-tight. Here are some of those assurances Rwanda has provided to the UK. And the government’s team says these should carry “great weight”.
The assurances carry a caveat that if Rwanda breaches them, they can’t be taken to court:
That’s been highlighted by the other side - and the court is also asking Govt lawyers for a detailed response to the UN’s concerns about Rwanda. The case continues tomorrow and in theory Friday. Judgment won’t be for some while. Thanks for reading. Airline hired for UK’s #Rwanda deportations pulls out of scheme
