No penalty: Sunak gets to stand up in Parliament today and come up with such hypocritical nonsense as "we can't have cherry picking of important international agreements". (Laughter in the Chamber, so I suppose the penalty is at least ridicule, reputational damage, and losing an election as the electorate realises how awful the Tories have become.)And whats the penalty for ignoring international law?

Why is it wrong? Is there a single convention or law that suggests we must take refugees before they arrive in the UK?International law is currently actually protecting us from that requirement. If not then we'd have taken some share of the millions that Germany and the rest of Europe has already accepted.You first sentence is wrong.
The rest of the post went downhill from there.

There is literally zero precedence or convention which suggests that we must act to stop people from taking a risk to come here, zero. Our obligation to process and potentially accept an asylum seeker begins only on the day that somebody arrives in the UK and claims asylum.
You only have to ask why are the French not helping asylum seekers who want to come to the UK but are in Calais? They aren't processing them because those people have not claimed asylum in France and so France has absolutely zero obligation to them. The fact that France has decided not to enforce laws on illegal migration is another matter.
This seems unlikely because I thought the migrants were paying traffickers thousands of £ to get here?

Yeah...but apart from that?
