A court in the United Kingdom has validated the controversial deal with Rwanda to have migrants resettled in Kigali, giving respite to officials of both countries who had defended the pact.
The High Court in London said the deal does not violate the refugee convention or human rights laws. However, it ruled that each of the eight individual migrants cited in the case, who had arrived by boat to the UK, had been treated unlawfully.
