The decision was made by 124 votes to 10. All parties supported the action. However, part of the SVP group refused the loan. Asylum and immigration policy was cited as the reason for the number.
The supporters, however, said that there were no other options than the project. There is a duty of care for young children. The aim is to integrate well the minority asylum seekers (UMA) designated by the federal government. They should complete vocational training and thus be ready for an independent life.
The people only live in supported living until they are 18 years old. It was stated in Parliament that a follow-up solution was needed for young adults.
Long-term solutions are needed
Responsible government adviser Jean-Pierre Gallati (SVP) said that 99 percent of these young people would stay in Switzerland. “We are looking for solutions for the next 70 to 80 years of these young people’s lives. We have to unite them.”
The canton of Aargau wants to be ready for the future with the 100 additional places. According to the canton, the existing buildings have been overcrowded since the beginning of 2023, creating 195 additional places. So the current 373 places are 87 percent full.
In order for more places to be available quickly, the Department of Health and Social Affairs (DGS) led by government adviser Jean-Pierre Gallati (SVP) is responsible for the form of supported living. This type of care is already being used successfully in other cantons, it was said.
Collaboration with two organizations
Accommodation at independent UMA, over the age of 16 and over, would be in decentralized residential groups. Caregivers visited the young people weekly, initially and more often if necessary.
These people would accompany the younger people as needed on the way to an independent and responsible life. This work is undertaken by the association Lernwerk in Windisch and the Turning Point Foundation in Muhen. The canton made the corresponding commitments.

Quito. On the eve of the public hearing in The Hague, for Mexico’s lawsuit against Ecuador, for the assault on its embassy in Quito, an agent from Ecuador presented yesterday before the same International Court of Justice (ICJ), a countersuit against Mexico, for alleged violations of this country of international obligations.
In a statement, the Ecuadorian Foreign Ministry alleges that Mexico had violated international asylum treaties since December 17, 2023, when it hosted former Vice President Jorge Glas, in its diplomatic headquarters in Quito, as a political asylum seeker. And at the same time, yesterday the team of lawyers who “will defend the interests of the Ecuadorian State” in the Mexican lawsuit was announced. It will include Michael Woods, Sean Murphy, Alfredo Crossato and Omi Sender. The ambassador of Ecuador in the Netherlands, Andrés Terán Parral, will act as Agent of the Republic of his country before the ICJ.
“This counterclaim is nonsense. In the government there is no awareness, nor any reflection on the barbarism committed by attacking an embassy and kidnapping an asylum seeker. They are only trying to justify a brutal violation of international law, condemned by the entire world,” former Ecuadorian vice chancellor Fernando Yépez told La Jornada. Some political analysts expressed the same line of thought in yesterday’s news spaces in the local press of the Andean country.
The government of Daniel Noboa raises four breaches in which his counterpart Andrés Mnauel López Obrador would have incurred. These are:
1.- Has failed to comply with its obligations to respect the laws and regulations of the receiving State, not to interfere in the internal affairs of the receiving State and not to use the premises of the mission in a manner incompatible with the functions of the diplomatic mission, as established by the Convention of Vienna.
2.- It has failed to comply with its obligations not to grant asylum to people who are being prosecuted or on trial for common crimes or have been convicted by competent ordinary courts, and to hand them over to local authorities.
3.- It has violated the principles of sovereign equality, territorial integrity and non-intervention in the internal affairs of other States in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, the Charter of the Organization of American States and international law.
4.- Has violated its obligation to cooperate in anti-corruption matters in accordance with Article XIV of the 1996 Inter-American Convention against Corruption and Articles 43, 46 and 48 of the 2023 United Nations Convention against Corruption.
In addition, Noboa makes two requests to the ICJ in his lawsuit: That he resolve and declare that by making, through his Head of State (Manuel López Obrador), false and insulting statements that call into question the legitimacy of the 2023 elections , Mexico has violated the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other States. Therefore, let him judge and declare the legal consequences for the United Mexican States derived from his internationally illicit acts.
On the X social network account, the ICJ confirmed that it received the lawsuit filed by Ecuador against the State of Mexico.

If the British Parliament approves, the United Kingdom could send asylum seekers to Rwanda. Asylum seekers and migrants who enter the UK illegally – often on rubber boats across the Channel – can then be sent away on a one-way ticket to Kigali. The British plan is being followed with interest from other European countries that are also struggling to welcome asylum.
It remains to be seen whether the law will pass today, as the two houses of parliament do not agree on several details.
This legislation was announced two years ago under Boris Johnson and has already cost over £100 million, but so far no one has been sent to Rwanda. In 2021, a plane carrying selected asylum seekers was stopped at the last minute on the runway by a European judge. Since then, Rwanda’s policy has been plagued by a series of legal problems.
In November, the highest courts in the UK ruled that it is possible to send asylum seekers and migrants to other places, but that the designated place must be safe. Rwanda was called “not safe” by the judges: there was a risk that the migrants would be returned illegally to their country of origin. In addition, there were concerns about the asylum process in the African country.
The final stage
Prime Minister Sunak then decided to make additional agreements with the Rwandan government to ease the judges’ concerns. Legal experts and staff from the British Immigration Service were sent to Rwanda to set up the procedures.
Sunak led legislation through the Houses of Commons and Lords, effectively declaring Rwanda a safe country and enabling ministers to, in effect, ignore international treaties and the Human Rights Act. That legislation is now in the final stages of a ping-pong between the House of Commons and the House of Lords.
Barrier effect
For Sunak, it is vital that a plane carrying asylum seekers to Africa leaves as soon as possible. His Conservative Party faces a historic defeat in the elections later this year. He hopes to restore their popularity and fulfill his big promise to “stop the boats” with these policies.
The focus on illegal immigration is somewhat skewed: the number of people arriving in the UK illegally by boat is around 40,000 a year – out of proportion to the estimated 1.2 million immigrants who enter the country legally.
The reasoning behind Rwanda’s exports is that they would have a deterrent effect and disrupt the revenue model of human smugglers. The aim is to discourage people from paying thousands of euros to smugglers and crossing the Channel in rickety boats – at the risk of ending up not in the UK, but in Rwanda. However, there is little evidence that the measure has a real deterrent effect.
Europe is watching
The rest of Europe is watching with great interest the United Kingdom’s efforts to accommodate asylum seekers in Rwanda. Politicians in the Netherlands, Austria, Italy and Germany are also showing interest in maintaining asylum procedures elsewhere from now on. Denmark has even enacted a law to extend the asylum procedure to Rwanda, although this has not yet been implemented.
If the British Parliament passes the law now, it will mark an important moment, symbolizing the way in which countries are trying to change the asylum system. For a long time it was thought that the plan would fail in court. But after the vote, the king could ratify the legislation within days. After that, it may take several weeks before the first flight departs.
It remains to be seen whether sending migrants to Rwanda deters asylum seekers and migrants who want to come to the UK. The question remains whether this will make a difference to voters in the coming battle between Labor and the Tories. If Labor wins the election, there is a good chance that the export program to Rwanda will be stopped immediately.
