Why in the News?
The UK government is planning to add India into the Safe States List.
What does inclusion in the ‘safe states’ list mean?
The inclusion of India in the safe states list means that the UK government considers India to be generally safe, stable, and free from widespread human rights abuses.
What will be the impact of this inclusion of India in the Safe List?
The inclusion of India in the safe states list will make it difficult for Indians travelling illegally to seek asylum in Britain.
This will also enable the UK to detain illegal immigrants or order their prompt return to a safe third country or their country of origin.
Which other countries are in the UK Safe States list?
Georgia, Albania, Switzerland, European Union (EU) and European Economic Area (EEA) states.
