PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Asylum: Rwanda (18 May 2022)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the UK-Rwanda Migration and Economic Development Partnership, what assurances she has received from the Government of Rwanda that migrants from protected groups will not face discrimination.

Asked by:
Marsha De Cordova (Labour)

It is the Government’s long-standing position never to publish confidential and privileged legal advice.

Rwanda’s constitution includes a broad prohibition on discrimination. It is a fundamentally safe and secure country with respect for the rule of law. Rwanda will treat each relocated individual in accordance with the Refugee Convention, Rwandan immigration laws and international and Rwandan standards, including under international and Rwandan human rights law.
