I think Rishi Sunak has just said that if parliament votes that "Rwanda is a safe country" via his planned emergency legislation - and that can't be taken for granted - he will just ignore the European Court of Human Rights if it intervenes to stop asylum seekers being expelled there. This sounds like he is saying he would be prepared to simply ignore international treaty obligations. Which would be quite an important - and many would say dangerous - precedent
