Framing Analysis
The Permanent Court of Arbitration ruled that the UK owes no additional payments under the 2022 asylum scheme with Rwanda, which was cancelled in 2024 after sending only four voluntary participants. The ruling followed Rwanda's November 2024 agreement to forgo scheduled payments and occurred amid the UK's pause in aid over Rwanda's role in the Democratic Republic of Congo conflict. Sources disagree on whether Rwanda initiated a claim for £100 million or £60 million.
