"Rwanda Treaty Faces Setbacks in House of Lords"

The House of Lords has voted to delay the ratification of the new UK-Rwanda treaty, which is central to the government's plan to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, until Rwanda improves its asylum procedures. The treaty, signed in December, is separate from the Rwanda Safety Bill and aims to prevent legal challenges to deporting asylum seekers to Rwanda. The vote, although non-binding, indicates significant opposition to the government's plan, with concerns raised about the safety and effectiveness of Rwanda's asylum system.
