So it's not just the first world... South Africa plans to withdraw from UN conventions so it can restrict immigration and send refugees back to countries not deemed dangerous South Africa is planning to withdraw from UN conventions so the government can restrict immigration and send refugees back to countries that are not deemed dangerous. Home affairs minister Aaron Motsoaledi has announced plans to toughen the nation's asylum and immigration laws as part of his bid to 'overhaul' the migration system in South Africa. One of the chief proposals, featured in the government's 'White Paper', is that the South African government temporarily withdraws from the 1951 United Nations Refugees Convention and the 1967 Protocol to the Status of Refugees. This would allow South Africa to opt out of certain clauses to restrict immigration and not grant socio-economic rights to migrants that are laid out in the 1951 Convention, Motsoaledi said. I didn't realize South Africa had such a big problem with illegal immigration.
They have a problem with illegal immigration. But the bigger problem is this: Unemployment near crisis levels in South Africa
