British plan to deport migrants, UN: It would penalize those who really need

The British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak presented a day ago the bill for the deportation of immigrants, but the United Nations Agency says that this bill proposed by the British government is very disturbing and violates human rights.

The representative of the UNHCR in the United Kingdom, Vicky Tennant, told the BBC that this law would also block the stay of those immigrants who have a real reason to emigrate. According to her, this measure would violate international law and is not necessary to stop crossings in the English Channel.

"We are very concerned. This is effectively shutting down access to asylum in the UK for people who come irregularly. We believe it is a clear breach of the Refugee Convention and remember that even people with very convincing claims simply do not will have the opportunity to present them."

The Refugee Convention, first agreed in 1951, is a multilateral treaty that defines who qualifies as a refugee and the obligations of signatory states to protect them.

Ms Tennant said the UK had a "long humanitarian tradition" and that migration issues could be tackled with proper controls and a better-run system.

"Make the asylum system work," she said. "Make the asylum process fair, efficient and faster.

"If people don't have the right to asylum, send them back to their countries and if they do, then allow them to integrate and move that process much faster."

Under the British government's draft law, people who enter the country illegally will not be allowed to apply for asylum and will be deported to their home countries or to so-called safe third countries.

Sunak has made banning the boats one of his five priorities, as the number of migrants arriving on England's south coast soared to more than 45,000 last year. Anyone found to have entered the country illegally will also be barred from future British citizenship.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said he is "ready for war" to bring in the law and overcome any legal challenges. But Labor has said the plans risk "making the chaos worse".
