UN Complains Over UK’s Illegal Migration Bill

UN criticize UK's illegal migration law.

The world governing body, UN has criticized UK’s illegal migration bill that has generated numerous criticisms from opposing parties. The UN warned that, the bill “will have consequences for people in need of international protection.”

The condemnation came as the House of Lords objections to the bill failed, when the Conservative frontbench opposed five additional amendments to the bill, including provisions protecting victims of contemporary slavery and limiting the amount of time children can be detained.

“This bill sets a worrying precedent for dismantling asylum-related obligations that other countries, including in Europe, may be tempted to follow, with a potentially adverse effect on the international refugee and human rights protection system as a whole.”

Turk further encouraged the UK government to reverse the law, and reaffirm its dedication to upholding international human rights.

However, the implementation of the “Stop the Boat” law, came into full force before the arrival of the Bibby Stockholm in Portland, Dorset. The Bibby Stockholm vessel is set to host over 500 asylum seekers, with the aim of relieving pressure on hostels.

Also, the local council contributed about 377,000 pounds to establish volunteer activities and organization of English classes. Also, protestors were present at the port’s gate to demonstrate against the housing of asylum seekers in the neighborhood.  

As part of “a carefully structured plan to increase the number of individuals on board over the next few months,” the Home Office has revealed that, about 50 asylum seeker would be transfer on the vessel by next week.

On the other hand, the Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Home Secretary Suella Braverman, applauded the resolution by the Peers and the MPs during ping-pong, a stage where the bill is tossed back and forth between the Lords and Commons, until a compromise is reached, which paves way for a royal assent.

The Prime Minister’s strategy to discourage individuals from crossing the Channel includes regulations as a fundamental component. They will prevent anyone from requesting asylum in the UK, if they come illegally.

Additionally, the government expects that, the adjustments will guarantee that, asylum seekers who have been detained, be release as soon as possible, either to their homeland or a third country like Rwanda, which has been the target of a lawsuit.

Charities and campaign groups described the passing of the bill on Tuesday, as a “dark day.” However, Jess Philips, a Labour frontbencher labelled the law as “a trafficker’s dream, a tool for their control.”

“Traffickers are today showing their slaves images of where they will end up in detention on a mega barge, or deported home right back to those who trafficked them in the first place,” Jess Phillips, Labour Shadow Minister for Domestic Violence and Safeguarding, explained.

The chief executive of the Refugee Council, Enver Solomon said, “the overall bill remains unworkable, and will lead to human misery and huge cost to the taxpayer.”

Moreover, sources within the Labour Lords have declined criticisms by Jenny Jones of the Green party that, the turnout of the Labour in the procedings was poor.

“The reality, as the Lords speaker’s committee report highlighted earlier this week, is that the Conservatives can now call upon around 100 more peers than us when it comes to crunch votes.”

Furthermore, the volume of tiny boat arrivals, according to Home Office Minister Simon Murray, has “overwhelmed” the UK’s asylum system, and has caused taxpayers an average of £6 million per day to offer housing. “With over 45,000 people making dangerous Channel crossings last year, this is simply no longer sustainable,” Lord Murray told peers.

A cheaper option than housing people in hotels, according to Downing Street, is the use of boats for housing. However, according to a current estimate, it would save a little over £10 per person every day.
