Rwanda takes UK to international arbitration over abandoned asylum deal
Rwanda has launched arbitration at the Permanent Court of Arbitration against the UK, seeking £50m in compensation after the scrapped asylum partnership to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda was abandoned; Kigali says London has not disbursed payments, a move tied to the 2023 ruling that the agreement was illegal and Starmer's 2024 termination, with £240m already paid and £50m due.
