The UK’s hardline approach to tackling the Channel crisis risks damaging improving relations with Europe after Rishi Sunak’s Brexit deal restored trust singharj reports:
Dr Anton Hofreiter, chair of the German Bundestag’s European Affairs Committee, highlighted the importance of international law during a visit to London on Wednesday.
“We also heard some strange comments with people we talked to, for example one comment about the fact the UK had left the European Union so the Court of Human Rights should not apply to us – but it’s nothing to do with each other. “It’s also important for us in relationships with the countries of the Global South because they always tell us: international law is important for you when it is comfortable for you – each event that proves that maybe this is true is a problem.
“It may raise concerns as to its feasibility, and be most damaging to relations if the Home Secretary sought – in practice – to return asylum seekers to EU countries without reciprocal arrangements.”
