Submission from REDRESS to the UK Parliament’s Joint Committee on Human Rights

On 5 April 2023 REDRESS made this submission to the UK Parliament’s Joint Human Rights Committee on the Illegal Migration Bill. The contribution focuses on the way in which the Bill, if passed, would result in the UK breaching its obligations under international law against torture, in particular, the UN Convention against Torture and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, both of which the UK has ratified.
