Recommendation 17

17 Paragraph: 125

The Bill includes requirements as to how the Refugee Convention must be interpreted.

Conclusion
The Bill includes requirements as to how the Refugee Convention must be interpreted. This risks the UK being out of step with established interpretations of Refugee Convention obligations, reducing the protection against human rights abuses that the Refugee Convention provides.
