Pale, doughy, and a touch sad. Eat if peckish.
Summary
An international arbitration court ruled that the UK does not have to pay Rwanda after scrapping a controversial asylum deal between the two countries. Rwanda had sought compensation, arguing it incurred significant costs preparing for the partnership and was not informed in advance that the UK was walking away. The court denied Rwanda's claims for relief.
