New treaty, emergency law: What challenges did Rishi Sunak face after the Rwanda policy?

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is now aiming to revive his flagship immigration policy after suffering a crushing defeat in the country’s top court over the Rwanda plan. Sunak also said he was working on a new treaty with Rwanda that would address the points raised by the court, pass an emergency law to designate Rwanda a safe country, and end any foreign court blockades. “Willing to do what is necessary to prevent.

Following the decision by Britain’s top court, Sunak warned that Britain could leave the European Human Rights Convention, saying he would take the necessary steps to allow deportation flights to begin in the spring of next year. The Supreme Court in London ruled that its policy of deporting refugees to Rwanda while their applications for asylum are being processed is unlawful. In its ruling, the Court agreed with the previous Court of Appeal decision, saying that there were sufficient grounds to believe that people sent to Rwanda could then be sent to places that would be deemed unsafe by the Rwandan government.

Speaking to reporters after the court’s decision, Sunak said his government would take steps to remove any further obstacles to implementing the policy. Sunak said in a statement that we have seen today’s decision and will now consider the next steps. This was not the outcome we wanted, but we have planned for all scenarios over the past few months and we are fully committed to stopping the boats.
