Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood's plan to make asylum status temporary, requiring refugees to reapply every 30 months, may violate the UK's obligations under the 1951 Refugee Convention, according to the Law Society of England and Wales. The policy, modeled on Denmark's strict system, has drawn criticism from refugee advocacy organizations who warn it will cause psychological harm to people fleeing persecution and war.
