Priti Patel's borders bill 'breaches international and domestic law'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

43% : Plans to send those claiming asylum to offshore centre would breach three articles of the ECHR, three of the Articles of the Refugee Convention, the report said, while plans to "fast-track" cases with an expedited, accelerated appeals process would risk unfairness under common law as well as Articles 2, 3, 4, 8 and 13 of the EHCR.
42% : "The principle at the heart of the bill is the penalisation, both criminally and administratively, of those who arrive by irregular means in the UK to claim asylum and the bill seeks to reverse a number of important decisions of the UK courts, including at the House of Lords and appeal court level, given over the last 20 years."
