The controversial policy of relocating asylum seekers to Rwanda has put the UK’s attitude towards immigration under the spotlight, raising questions about the outsourcing of the government’s human rights obligations.
As the climate crisis intensifies, with millions expected to be displaced in the coming years, creating a surge in climate refugees, how might these policies respond to such an impending emergency? And what are the legal and ethical ramifications of not responding?
Featuring journalist, Aamna Mohdin, author of Scattered: The Making and Unmaking of a Refugee, Naz Shah, MP for Bradford West, and Matthew Lockwood, author of This Land of Promise: A History of Refugees and Exiles in Britain, this panel looks at first-hand accounts from the frontlines of the refugee crisis and takes a critical look at the complexities and contradictions of seeking asylum in the UK today.
