United Nations 'concerned' over Home Secretary's attack on refugee convention
The United Nations has rebuked the home secretary's "concerning" criticisms of the refugee convention during her speech in Washington.
Suella Braverman claimed the 1951 convention had lowered the threshold so asylum seekers only needed to prove they faced discrimination, rather than a risk of torture, violence or death.
She added the international community had "failed" to modernise international laws and deal with an "existential challenge".
UNHCR Representative to the United Kingdom Vicky Tennant responded to Braverman's claims saying, "the spirit of the refugee convention is very much based on international cooperation" and that it would be worrying "if there were to be serious efforts to restrict the interpretation of the refugee convention" or to step away from its obligations.

IAEA Chief Rafael Grossi has warned that Iran could resume uranium enrichment within months, despite recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear sites. Grossi emphasized that Iranās expertise and infrastructure remain largely intact. Satellite images of Fordow show signs of possible reconstruction, contradicting Trumpās claim that Iranās program was ātotally obliterated.ā The IAEA says damage was significant but not crippling. With Tehran cutting off cooperation with the UN watchdog, concerns are rising over Iranās next nuclear move.

Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter has accused IAEA chief Rafael Grossi of aiding Israelās Mossad in assassinating Iranian nuclear scientists by leaking their identities and locations. In a June 29 interview on Iranās Press TV, Ritter alleged that the agency under Grossi compromised Iran's scientists, directly leading to targeted killings. His claims have reignited Iranās long-standing accusations of Western bias within the IAEA, further fueling Tehranās decision to end cooperation with the agency. The controversy deepens tensions in the region and raises serious questions about international nuclear oversight.
