That Minister of Home Affairs from great BritainJames Cleverly, and Exterior from RwandaVincent Biruta, signed this Tuesday in Kigali a New Testament For transfer to African countries migrants who enter British territory irregularly, in London’s controversial plan to reduce immigration. The aim of this pact is to legalize the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government program for sending asylum seekers to Rwandaafter the UK Supreme Court – the country’s highest judicial body – weighed in wild last November.

“The new agreement we signed addresses all the concerns of the Supreme Court judges,” Cleverly said at a news conference in Kigali. “We have worked closely with our partners in Rwanda to ensure this happens,” he stressed.

According to Cleverly, “the new immigration plan will do just that we will resolutely reduce net migration and we will create a system that benefits the British people.”

Rwanda’s Minister of Foreign Affairs explained that the new agreement “will re-emphasize, in a binding manner, existing commitments to address issues arising in the legal process regarding the protection of asylum seekers.”

“We will also see the introduction of a new appeals court, which will be created according to Rwandan law and will be overseen by two co-chairs, one from Rwanda and one from another Commonwealth country; and a committee of judges from various countries, who will hear appeals if the applicant’s asylum application is rejected.”

Last month, UK Supreme Court decided that, based on the available evidence, there was a possible risk to asylum seekers sent to Rwanda danger of being deported to their home country.

The decision is a major blow to the UK Conservative Government’s immigration policy since the Rwanda plan began in 1997 April 2020when Boris Johnson became prime minister – was central to his desire to stop the increasing number of migrant boats crossing the English Channel, between Britain and France.

The program has also received support from the Rwandan government, which has insisted on several occasions that it remains “committed” to its controversial agreement with London.

Since coming to power in 2000, Rwanda’s president, Paul Kagame, has gained international recognition for the country’s economic success and reconstruction following the 1994 genocide. However, human rights organizations have repeatedly condemned the arbitrary arrests and disappearances of dissidents carried out by the country’s government. Rwandan opponents were killed or disappeared for what critics described as “political” reasons.
