Why then does the second sentence of Article 10.3 exist? Why is there? Why does it say:
“The Parties shall cooperate to agree an effective system for ensuring that removal contrary to this obligation”
which the Minister refers to “does not occur”?
Why do we need a system? If the Minister is completely confident, why have this Government signed a treaty that has a fallback to say what should happen if refoulement does occur? When will we see that system to ensure the fallback—the safety net? When are we going to see that? It is not good enough for the Minister to say that refoulement cannot happen because we have signed a treaty. The Government have also signed a treaty containing a provision for what happens if refoulement nevertheless occurs.
