Asylum (Designated States) (No. 2) Order 2003 — 16 Jul 2003 at 19:56

The majority Aye voters approved the Asylum (Designated States) (No. 2) Order 2003[1]. The Order adds a list of states which the government are satisifed have respect for human rights.

The Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 disallows a rejected asylum seeker from appealing from within the UK if their claim is unfounded[2]. This applies to a list of countries set out in the Act where the government does not believe returning asylum seekers to these states would jeopardise their human rights.

The Order voted on here added a number of other countries to the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002 which the government believed had respect for human rights. These were:

  • Bangladesh
  • Bolivia
  • Brazil
  • Ecuador
  • Sri Lanka
  • South Africa
  • Ukraine
