We must legislate or admit defeat.&#8217;<\/p>\n<h3>So what is &#8216;refoulement&#8217;?<\/h3>\n<p>Refoulement is an old French word now being used to deliver a key blow in stopping flights to Rwanda.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, it means the practice of sending refugees or asylum seekers to a country where they are likely to face persecution.<\/p>\n<p>The term originates from the French word refouler \u00bf to force back. It was used as long ago as the 18th century but the term first emerged in relation to refugees in the aftermath of the Second World War when millions fled their homelands in search of refuge.<\/p>\n<p>Non-refoulement became the core principle of the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, which asserted a refugee should not be returned to a country where they face serious threats to their life or freedom.<\/p>\n<p>This includes those who flee through fear of being persecuted as a result of their sexual orientation.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sunak told MPs he was willing to &#8216;revisit those international relationships&#8217; only if it &#8216;becomes clear that our domestic legal frameworks or international conventions are still frustrating plans&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>A government source said that the proposed treaty and law change would be quicker than attempting to disapply the ECHR, which was &#8216;likely to be challenged in the courts&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>However the changes will need primary legislation, opening up the risk that Labour and the Liberal Democrats could combine to frustrate or even block the plans in the Lords.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Sunak said he still hoped to get the first flights to Rwanda going by the spring of next year \u2013 but he repeatedly refused to guarantee they would start before the next election.<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court president Lord Reed ruled there would be a risk of &#8216;refoulement&#8217;, Rwanda returning genuine asylum seekers to face &#8216;ill treatment&#8217; in the country they had fled.<\/p>\n<p>He made it clear in his summary of the judgement that the ECHR was not the only international treaty relevant to the court&#8217;s decision, which also took into account domestic law.<\/p>\n<p>The ruling brought an end to almost 18 months of legal wrangling which began in June 2022 when an anonymous judge in Strasbourg issued a temporary injunction preventing a flight containing channel migrants.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Jenrick last night said he was confident the new plan would see planes leaving for Rwanda by spring.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12755361\/Rishi-Sunak-insists-judges-not-allowed-block-Rwanda-emergency-laws.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rishi Sunak insists judges will not be allowed to block the Rwanda scheme as he bids to drive through emergency laws to clear legal blocks&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145225,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
