Immigration News: Safe and Legal Routes to Asylum: Part 1 - Why Have Them?

Safe and legal routes – why have them?

The United Kingdom is one of the world's wealthiest nations, with a strong economy, a high standard of living, and a well-established democracy.

It is also a country that has a long and proud tradition of offering refuge to those in need.

However, in recent years, the UK has faced criticism for its handling of the refugee crisis, with many arguing that it has failed to provide adequate support for those fleeing war, persecution, and other forms of violence.
One suggestion that has been put forward to address this issue is to create "safe and legal routes" for potential refugees wanting to come to the UK.

This would involve establishing official channels through which people could apply for asylum, and providing them with support and resources to help them integrate into British society.

The government is often critical of people coming to the UK illegally and not travelling by “safe and legal routes”. But what does this mean?

At the moment, it is not possible for people to come to the UK using “safe and legal routes” to claim asylum without lying about why they are coming to the UK. If they do lie and claim asylum when they arrive, they are criticised for doing so.

There are several compelling reasons why the UK should consider implementing such a policy.
Firstly, it would help to prevent people from taking dangerous and often deadly journeys across the sea or land to reach the UK.

Many refugees are forced to rely on smugglers and other criminal gangs to help them cross borders, which can put them at risk of exploitation, abuse, and even death.

By providing safe and legal routes, the UK can help to reduce these risks and ensure that people are not forced to put their lives in danger in order to seek safety.

Secondly, creating safe and legal routes would enable the UK to more effectively manage the flow of refugees into the country.

As it stands, the current system is often overwhelmed, with long waiting times and a lack of resources making it difficult for people to access the support they need.

By establishing official channels for asylum seekers to apply, the UK can better manage the numbers of people arriving, and ensure that those who do come receive the necessary support and assistance.

Thirdly, providing safe and legal routes would send a powerful message about the UK's commitment to human rights and international law.

As a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, the UK has a legal obligation to provide protection to those who are fleeing persecution and other forms of violence.


Finally, creating safe and legal routes would help to counter the negative rhetoric and misinformation that often surrounds the issue of immigration and asylum.

By providing clear and transparent channels for people to apply for asylum, the UK can help to dispel myths and misconceptions about the process, and ensure that the public is better informed about the realities of the refugee crisis.

Not only would this help to prevent people from taking dangerous and often deadly journeys to reach the UK, but it would also enable the country to better manage the flow of refugees and demonstrate its commitment to human rights and international law.

By taking these steps, the UK can help to provide a better future for those who are fleeing persecution and other forms of violence, and ensure that they are able to live in safety and dignity.
