BETWEEN REFUGEE LAW AND HUMAN RIGHTS: ANALYSING THE BRITISH THIRD STATE RESETTLEMENTS TO RWANDA

Abstract

In April 2022, the British Government made public its intention to seek durable solutions for refugees in its domain. This policy aims at sending refugees to the East African Republic of Rwanda. The criticism took a legal dimension with the verdict of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).  Despite all this, the study’s position is that the British government’s policy is a regular and acceptable standard of practice from the international protection law’s perspective and concludes that refugee laws are not human rights laws in spite of their similarities -international protection law protects both the refugee and the state.
