Rwanda will carry on taking illegal migrants even if Britain leaves the European Court of Human Rights, the Kigali government confirmed.
They have given Rishi Sunak the go-ahead to leave the EHCR if its judges try to block flights again.
Earlier this week, Sunak said he is prepared to quit the court in order to stop the small boats crossing.
He said that controlling illegal migration is "more important" than membership of the ECHR, saying he would not let a "foreign court" interfere with a policy that is "fundamental to our sovereignty".
