Britain and Rwanda signed a new treaty on Tuesday, strengthening the UK and Rwanda's Migration and Economic Development Partnership and directly addressing the concerns of the Supreme Court.
The treaty was signed by UK Home Secretary James Cleverly and Rwanda's Foreign Minister Vincent Biruta.
The agreement is part of the UK government's plan to ensure that illegal migrants can be lawfully relocated to Rwanda under the Government's ambition to stop the boats ensuring that people know that if they come to the UK illegally, they cannot stay here.
"This is a crucial step forward in our commitment to stopping the boats and saving lives," Cleverly said.
For his part, Rwanda's Foreign Minister said "Rwanda and the UK both understand that there's a critical need to find innovative solutions to address the suffering of migrants making dangerous, desperate journeys, under the exploitation of criminal human smugglers."
