Whether international law ‘undermines border reforms’ in the UK or the other way around is a clever take by @thetimes on what essentially is the question of the extent to which the Government is prepared to stand by its promises and when it comes to human rights law.
“If the UK government is serious about abiding by its legal obligations it should go further”.
@thetimes quotes @ma_jovanovic on the compatibility of #modernslavery measures in the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill with international laws.

Grateful thanks to @SlaveryPEC for commissioning and publishing this analysis, which is hoped to ensure that respect for human rights and protection of modern slavery victims remain at the heart of immigration law and policy in the UK.
We had a great discussion at @UKHouseofLords on how to make the UK’s Modern Slavery Act world-leading again. So many great contributions from a range of stakeholders expertly guided by @FrancesOGrady.
Thank you to the speakers:
➡️@KR0b3rts of @FocusOnLabour
➡️@SianLea of @Anti_Slavery
➡️@ma_jovanovic of @BonaveroIHR
Thanks also to @HumanTraffFdn, who provide secretariat to with the APPG on Human Trafficking and Modern Slavery who convened the event with us.

Given the spotlight on ASEAN knowledge (or lack of) recently, thought I’d just share a recent @MichJIntl_Law piece on ASEAN’s legal agency on security, economy and socio-cultural issues— despite external hegemons! repository.law.umich.edu/cgi…

🚨A new BBC investigation has uncovered a gang operating in the UK, trafficking vulnerable people into the country and forcing them to work in food production for some of the biggest brands in the UK.

And 7 out of the 10 people who were disqualified from protection had a positive RG decision after being reported as a potential victim of trafficking for criminal exploitation. unitedkingdom.iom.int/sites/…
🔴 NEW EXCLUSIVE 🔴
Hundreds of modern slavery victims were in prison in the 15 months leading up to June this year, an exclusive investigation by me @openDemocracy and After Exploitation @Messlemont can reveal...

Absolute credit where due to dedicated people in the MOJ recording this information more reliably, and pushing for single points of contact (SPOCs) in prison. But more must be done to ensure prisons can refer / judges are equipped to recognise trafficking *before* sentencing

James Robottom, acting pro bono, successfully represented a victim of modern slavery in his appeal to the First Tier Tribunal against his award under the Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme.
James was instructed by a team at @Freshfields

I’m glad to see this piece finally out with grateful thanks to @SlaveryPEC for generous support along the way! The UK’s sweeping “public order disqualification” of modern slavery survivors contravenes its international legal obligations and should be recast.
