@RD4Anarchy @JapanProf the possibility that you're missing is that they are granted by rough global consensus – that is, that the authority is some reasonably large subset of "all of us".

I think that, in the aftermath of WWII, when the #RefugeeConvention and the concepts of #Genocide and #WarCrimes were fully established, there was globally a very widespread understanding that we could any of us, through no fault of our own, become a #Refugee or victim of a war crime...

What a vicious woman.

If she had her way, she'd get rid of both the Refugee Convention & the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

But most likely the public will get rid of her well before that.

Being gay or a woman isn't reason enough to claim asylum, says Suella Braverman https://news.sky.com/story/home-secretary-suella-braverman-to-question-if-refugee-convention-is-fit-for-our-modern-age-in-us-think-tank-speech-12970029

The Convention further stipulates that, subject to specific exceptions, refugees should not be penalized for their illegal entry or stay. This recognizes that the seeking of asylum can require refugees to breach immigration rules.
...It provides that no one shall expel or return (“refouler”) a refugee against his or her will, in any manner whatsoever...

Not content with picking a legal fight with the EU, and losing, the English government could now be taking on the rest of the world. Will the UK be leaving the UN as well as the Council of Europe?
