In cheat and arms UK politicians trust
By law, all mariners have a duty to provide assistance to vessels in distress at sea, as per the International Convention on Safety of Life at Sea, 1974.
From media:
The
small boats that are used to cross the Channel are often overloaded and
sometimes taking on water, but when French vessels have attempted to
intercept them, migrants have threatened to jump into the sea, or even
throw children overboard.
Their refusal to be rescued by French
authorities puts lives at risk, so the French have no option but to
shadow the boats across the Channel until they reach British waters,
where the migrants are safe in the knowledge that they will be taken to
Britain, rather than back to France....
While under current EU
law migrants can be sent back to the EU country where they came from (as
the Dublin regulation stipulates that the EU country where migrants are
registered is responsible for their asylum process), the legality of
UK's practice of returning migrants back to France is being questioned.
An
investigation by the Guardian found that migrants were swiftly being
returned to France, without demanding enough evidence that they had been
fingerprinted, had claimed asylum or had spent time in the first EU
country before arriving in the second. Human rights lawyers and
campaigners say that they have
Gathered evidence reveal that
under the current UK initiative to deport migrants to France --
Operation Sillath -- migrants are not assessed properly but rather
returned to France without due process.
Lily Parrott, a lawyer
at Duncan Lewis solicitors, who is working on a legal challenge about
Operation Sillath, was quoted by the Guardian as saying: "We feel that
this is being done illegally and on the basis of a conflation between
the Dublin convention and a UK-France treaty about border management."
"This
would be an egregious breach of European law that allowed many
asylum-seekers to be wrongly removed from the UK,” she added.
But
fully in line with UK's new policy as a puppet state for US hawks who
can't swallow the fact that China has beaten them in tech, trade and the
spread of wealth and health.
