The UK government has introduced stricter rules for refugees seeking citizenship, stating that those who enter illegally will typically be denied citizenship, regardless of their duration of stay. Critics argue this violates the 1951 UN Refugee Convention, particularly Article 31, which prohibits penalties for illegal entry. The government maintains that individuals can still apply for citizenship, but the new measures create significant barriers. Experts warn that these rules could lead to discrimination and hinder refugees' integration into society. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
