The Paris London migrant deal has been criticized as ineffective by human rights barrister Fadi Farhat. He described the agreement as 'toothless' and not living up to the government's claims. The deal requires the UK to submit a transfer request within two weeks, with a potential extension to 28 days. Farhat noted that the treaty allows France to disregard UK requests, stating that the 28-day response period could lead to negative implications for the UK, effectively giving France control over the process. This arrangement could enable individuals to exploit timing to their advantage.
Fadi Farhat emphasized that the Paris London migrant deal is 'toothless' and fails to deliver the effectiveness claimed by the government.
He further stated that the deal allows Paris a flexibility that could leave the UK powerless, with a 28-day response window that could lead to ignored transfer requests.
Farhat explained that from the moment a migrant arrives in the UK, the timing begins, but it could be manipulated, allowing individuals to extend their time.
He pointed out that if France does not respond within 28 days, it implies the UK's request has effectively been denied, undermining the agreement's strength.
