[QUOTE="How bad boy, post: 7425272, member: 3028"] This Rwanda policy is just as dumb as rocks and the Tories have really fucked up strategically with it. The only party it helps is Reform, by bringing so much focus onto immigration, yet cocking up the delivery. Best case, no flights till July: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/22/first-deportation-flight-to-rwanda-will-not-leave-until-july-admits-sunak[/URL] However: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2024/04/uk-airlines-and-aviation-authorities-should-not-facilitate-unlawful-removals[/URL] "UN experts* today expressed concern about the role of airlines and aviation authorities in facilitating unlawful removals to Rwanda under the Agreement between the Government of the United Kingdom and the Government of Rwanda, and the ‘Safety of Rwanda’ Bill. “Even if the UK-Rwanda agreement and the ‘Safety of Rwanda’ Bill are approved, airlines and aviation regulators could be complicit in violating internationally protected human rights and court orders by facilitating removals to Rwanda,” the experts said. They stressed that removing asylum-seekers to Rwanda or any other country where they would be at risk of refoulement would violate the right to be free from torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. In November 2023, the UK Supreme Court ruled that removals to Rwanda would violate Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which prohibits torture or inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. “If airlines and aviation authorities give effect to State decisions that violate human rights, they must be held responsible for their conduct,” the experts said." ... The UN experts have been in contact with the UK Government, as well as national, European and international aviation regulators, including the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and international actors, including the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to express their concerns and remind them of their responsibilities.

Presume he's confident those charter companies and non-uk aviation regulators are happy being at risk of violating UN Human Rights for the sake of a policy stunt by a dying government... [/QUOTE]
