Rapid Response event series – Law in Context | Episode 3: The Safety of Rwanda Bill

This rapid response event will discuss the Safety of Rwanda (Asylum and Immigration) Bill, which was introduced by the UK government in December 2023 and is currently discussed in the House of Lords. This event will unpack the legal issues that arise from the Bill from an immigration, human rights, and public law perspective, and discuss the politics of asylum in the UK and their practical implications for migrants and asylum-seekers. 

This is the third event in the talk series ‘Law in Context’ hosted at the School of Law by Anna Ventouratou and Sotirios Lekkas, which aims to provide an accessible overview of the legal matters pertaining to current affairs and the broader context within which the law operates. In this talk, the hosts will be joined by Jonathan Collinson and Sam Guy, Lecturers in Law, and Lucy Mayblin Senior Lecturer in Sociology and Director of Migration Research Group at the University of Sheffield.

The first part of the event will be a panel discussion, approximately 45-50 mins, which will be recorded as a podcast. The second part of the event will be a Q&A session between the audience and the speakers, which will not be recorded.
