Submission of Evidence to Public Accounts Committee Inquiry on Asylum Accommodation and UK-Rwanda partnership

Fleury, Saphia

Abstract

Introduction:
This paper considers the human rights consequences of two aspects of asylum accommodation: the types of accommodation used for temporary housing, and the choice to disperse people to such accommodation. It includes a focus on child migrants. Asylum seekers and other migrants, like all citizens and non-citizens of the United Kingdom, are entitled to the full range of human rights as protected under international and UK law during their time in the UK. Their means of entry to the UK does not preclude them from accessing any of these inalienable rights. This paper considers some of the human rights affected by decisions around accommodation and dispersal
