britain and rwanda have signed a new treaty aimed at getting the uk government s flagship asylum policy operational, following a series of legal challenges. the policy first announced in april 2022 would see some asylum seekers sent to rwanda to claim asylum there. but it hit legal setbacks and was blocked in its previous form by the uk supreme court. after signing the agreement during a visit to kigali, the home secretary james cleverly said he believed the new treaty addressed all the concerns raised by the supreme court. he said he can t see any credible reason to question rwanda s human rights record, and hopes the first migrant flights will go there in spring 202a. £140 million has already been paid by the uk to rwanda for the implementation of the policy. fundamentally the supreme court raised two issues. one was about the capacity of the rwandan judicial system. we have been working on that for over a year. we started to address that at the time of the appeal co
