Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answers of 28 June 2022 to Question 23755 on Central Africa: Armed Conflict and 26 July 2022 to Question 30051 on Asylum: Rwanda, and in the context of the need to deescalate ethnic hate speech and violence occurring in the central African region, what metrics her Department used to determine Rwanda as a safe country for (a) refugees as outlined by her Department's response to Question 30051 and (b) other refugees fleeing central Africa.

Rwanda has been recognised globally for their record in welcoming and integrating migrants and asylum seekers, and our own comprehensive assessment found it to be generally a safe and secure country.

The factors considered to form our assessment are outlined in our published ‘Review of asylum processing, Rwanda: assessment’ which is available on Gov.Uk.

Any decision to relocate a person to Rwanda will be made on a case-by-case basis taking into account their individual circumstances and relevant country information.
