UK plans to relocate migrants to Rwanda pending court approval.

The UK government plans to start deporting asylum-seekers to Rwanda before the summer, pending legal approval. The controversial policy aims to deter migrants from taking risky journeys across the English Channel and smash the business model of people-smuggling gangs. However, the plan is mired in legal challenges, and human rights groups argue it's inhumane to send people to a country with a poor human rights record. The government has also drafted legislation barring anyone who arrives in the UK in small boats or by other unauthorized means from applying for asylum, which the UN refugee agency says breaches UK commitments under the international refugee convention.
