The ongoing debate about stopping migration via the English Channel has seen Reform UK claim the ability to return migrants to France, which lacks legal grounding.
There is no legal framework under which the UK can simply return migrants to France after intercepting them in the Channel, according to maritime law experts.
Richard Tice's assertion about using the 1982 UN Convention of Law at Sea for migrant repatriation has been met with skepticism and legal contradiction.
Experts indicate that international laws require consent from countries like France for any movement of intercepted migrants, rendering Reform UK's plan legally problematic.
