Re: Braverman's Fool's Journey to Washington (none / 0)
UN refugee agency rejects Suella Braverman asylum comments | BBC News |

Home Secretary Suella Braverman is facing criticism after she said the international asylum system was no longer fit for purpose.

In a speech earlier, Mrs Braverman said fearing discrimination for being gay or a woman should not be enough to qualify for refugee protection.

But the United Nations' refugee agency (UNHCR) rejected her calls for the rules to be "tightened".

It said the 1951 Refugee Convention "remains a life-saving instrument".

The convention forms the basis of the UNHCR's work and provides an agreed definition of a refugee and minimum standards for their treatment.
