British activate house-to-house round-ups to deport them to Rwanda

‘Outsourcing’ migrants. There is no place for them: they must be rejected without ifs and buts. This is the gist of the Asylum Seekers’ Exclusion Bill that has been given the green light in recent weeks after a back-and-forth between the House of Lords and the Commons and despite the fact that, in November 2023, the UK Supreme Court had ruled that migrants to be removed to Rwanda ran a real risk of being sent back to their home countries from which they had fled.

“The adoption of the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill by the UK Parliament raises serious issues with regard to the human rights of asylum seekers and the rule of law more generally,” said Michael O’Flaherty, Human Rights Commissioner of the Council of Europe. “This is an issue that will be the subject of my timely and careful attention as Commissioner for Human Rights of the Council of Europe,” O’Flaherty concluded.

We are faced with the general trend across the European continent towards the externalisation of asylum and migration policy in Europe, which is a source of concern for the global refugee rights protection system. According to the Sunak government – prime minister paradoxically of Indian origin – which has made the strategy of deportation to Rwanda one of its strengths. This measure is supposed to discourage migrants attempting to cross the Channel from France. A short-sighted illusion that stems from the nostalgia – all Western – of a pre-powerful past of colonialism of exploitation and subjugation of the other (people, territories, cultures), which today is expressed by “the expulsion of the other from one’s own contexts of life”.
