The UK Parliament has passed a controversial law to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda, drawing international criticism.
The U.N. refugee agency and the Council of Europe have expressed concerns over the UK's decision.
This move is part of a larger pattern of European nations tightening borders and outsourcing immigration control.
Experts argue that such policies have not successfully curbed migration and have resulted in greater human suffering.
Critics say the Rwanda deportation plan is ineffective as a deterrent and fails to serve as a viable model for Europe.
The Rwandan government supports the bill, highlighting its commitment to providing a safe and secure environment.
