The United Kingdom's upper house of parliament, on Tuesday, April 23, approved a government bill to send asylum seekers to Rwanda , a development that is key for the implementation of the UK- Rwanda migration deal which is expected to get operational in a matter of weeks.
In that regard, Rwanda set up an independent committee to audit the implementation of the agreement, in addition to which there will be an appeal institution to which migrants can go in case of anything they deem unfair. The appeal institution will be headed by a Rwandan judge working with another counterpart from a Commonwealth country. It will also employ more judges from various Commonwealth countries with knowledge on human rights.
