GENEVA – The Illegal Migration Bill, which has now been passed by Parliament in the United Kingdom, is at variance with the country’s obligations under international human rights and refugee law and will have profound consequences for people in need of international protection, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk and UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi warned today.

The illegal migration bill has passed, and here’s what will happen: children lost, abused and exploited
The new law will not act as the deterrent the UK government says it will – it just puts more vulnerable people in harm’s way
It will go down in history as a milestone like no other. As the UN has said, it “extinguishes access to asylum” in the UK for anyone arriving by a route the government deems “irregular”.

The UK’s illegal #MigrationBill is a nasty piece of work. So is the cruelty inflicted on refugee children
Even the most ardent supporters of the government are balking at how it’s trying to deter #asylum seekers
‘I’m a 16-year-old orphan from an African country escaping a war and religious persecution and I have a sibling living legally in the UK. What is a safe and legal route for me to come to the UK?”
Suella Braverman, could not answer this question

Yes, the Tories’ migration bill is bad – but the lack of Commons scrutiny is more disturbing still
Despite their best efforts, rebel MPs couldn’t muster enough opposition to the government’s plan – nor even much interest in it

An observant visitor from another world would surely find today’s Britain a troubled place, facing historic difficulties – inflation, war, inequality, its unsure place in the world, climate breakdown.

"(...) peers pressed their demand for further changes to the illegal migration bill.
These included limits to the detention of children, modern slavery protections and the provision of safe and legal routes for refugees to the UK."

Has any report about the Lineker incident actually analysed the accusation?

I've seen criticism of him saying it & debates about whether anyone working at the BBC should be allowed to say it, but I've not seen anyone comparing the language used in 1930s Germany & the language used by British politicians and media.

Surely someone has & I've just missed it?

Please do not let the fact that I am being stupid override the fact that I am also absolutely furious.

#Section19b and the #MigrationBill

Under the 1998 HRA, which enshrines the European Convention on Human Rights into UK law, a minister presenting a bill must make a statement confirming that the bill doesn't break human rights law. However, #Braverman has made a #Section19B statement, under which the minister in charge of the bill [herself] states they are “unable to make a statement of compatibility” but that the “G'ment nevertheless wishes the House to proceed with the Bill”

Vicky Tennant is the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to the United Kingdom.

She has just made a statement about the #MigrationBill

"It's essentially a ban on asylum. It basically extinguishes the right to seek asylum in the UK for people arriving irregularly and that's a clear breach of the Refugee Convention"

This may present an enormous problem to #Sunak and #Braverman

She really is a despicable human being isn't she?

Sorry. I realise I'm not adding anything here. Just felt the need to say it.

You can't, "push the boundaries of international law."

You either comply with international law or you break it. There's no grey area.

100 days to go for the Conservatives to mention their #MigrationBill and how the lefty lawyers have blocked it and why we are the only party that can keep the black and brown-skinned people out of these islands and why you must keep on reading the Daily Mail and and and and

IT'S A CON !
