UK Home Secretary Signs New Asylum Treaty with Rwanda: A Strategic Move or Mere Symbolism?

TL;DR Summary
UK Home Secretary James Cleverly has signed a new treaty with Rwanda to send asylum seekers to the African nation, following a UK court ruling that declared a deportation scheme to Rwanda illegal. The details of the agreement have not been disclosed, but it is expected to include commitments by Rwanda regarding the treatment of asylum seekers and other migrants. The plan is part of the UK government's strategy to reduce migration, but it has faced criticism for potential violations of international human rights laws. The UK Supreme Court ruled last month that the deportation scheme would violate domestic legislation.
