Rwanda is seeking more than £100 million it says the United Kingdom still owes from a scrapped 2022 deal to deport migrants, in a case that opened on Wednesday at the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague.
Representing Rwanda, Justice Minister Emmanuel Ugirashebuja said his country "regretted" having to drag the UK to the court – set up in 1899 to settle contractual disputes between countries – to recover "the substantial sums of money of which Rwanda has been deprived".
