The Tribune dated 29th April 2024

UK”s Rwanda plan cannot succeed because I would like to reiterate that Article 14.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights clearly and unambiguously states that:
“Everyone has the right to seek and enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.”
The Declaration on Territorial Asylum (1967) describes the principles on which states should base themselves in their practices relating to territorial asylum. One of the principles is non-refoulement: “the prohibition to forcibly send back a person to a country that is dangerous for the asylum-seeker.
As such Britain should stop issuing such diktats sponsored by Prime Minister who himself is an immigrant.
