“Third-country processing of asylum-seekers and the Rwanda plan”
This session assesses the far-reaching implications for domestic legal practice and foreign policy of third country processing schemes, such as the Rwanda deal proposed by the UK. Now the Supreme Court has given a definitive answer to the lawfulness of the original Rwanda proposals, we consider the future direction that government decision making is likely to take and what legal issues are likely to ensue.
Chair:Prof. David Cantor (Refugee Law Initiative)
Discussants:
- Dr Tamara Tubakovic (London School of Economics)
- Dr Elizabeth Mavropoulou (University of Westminster)
