What the petition asks
Prevent the Illegal Migration Bill from being implemented as an Act or enforceable by law.
Threatens the UK’s international obligations to protect refugees and victims of human trafficking and modern slavery;
Eliminates vital domestic human rights protections;
It is not compliant with UK’s international commitments on refugee and human rights: The 1951 Refugee Convention, an international treaty to which the UK is a party, expressly prohibits penalising asylum seekers and refugees on account of their irregular entry.
Global concerns: UK failure to adhere to international human rights
