Prof Guy S Goodwin-Gill, Mike Lowenstein, Peter Brayne and Charlie Owen on alternatives to the Rwanda scheme and why we need to move to a culture of helping, not hindering, vulnerable human beings
There are many solutions to the problems in our asylum system, but they all begin with a sense of humanity apparently unknown to the present government (Priti Patel: Rwanda plan critics ‘fail to offer their own solutions’, 18 April).
Finding solutions means, first, accepting responsibility for those over whom the United Kingdom exercises authority and control; second, it means cooperating with France and other EU countries in providing protection for refugees; third, it requires working with the source countries of refugees to find ways of assisting their citizens, either to remain and work there, or to return in safety and dignity.
