British policies on migration, rights issues under fire at UN

GENEVA, 11 November 2022, (TON): The United Kingdom faced a barrage of questions and criticism of its migration and poverty policies in a United Nations review of its human rights record amid allegations that it is backsliding on freedoms.

While criticism is part of the normal UN process that takes place every few years, analysts said the level of scrutiny of one of the world’s most prominent democracies from such a broad range of countries, including allies, was notable.

Among the issues raised at the UN meeting in Geneva was London’s plan to send asylum seekers who arrive in Britain to Rwanda to counter an influx of refugees and migrants on its southern coast.
