The ICIBI found the government's reports did not meet minimum standards of research and only included very limited critical information about the Rwandan asylum system, leaving fundamental gaps and unanswered questions.

David Bolt, interim independent chief inspector of borders and immigration, stated that the review raises important questions about the Home Office's approach and methodology in assessing country safety.
