Submission of evidence to Parliamentary Select Committee on Human Rights of Asylum Seekers in the UK

Fleury, Saphia

Abstract

Introduction:
The UK is failing to meet numerous obligations under international human rights law vis-à-vis its duty towards those seeking asylum. This submission argues that the 1951 Refugee Convention should be interpreted in line with the UK’s other international and regional
human rights obligations. All of the international and regional treaties cited in this submission have been ratified by, and are legally binding on, the Government of the United Kingdom.
