Original Note:
UK legislation makes irregular arrival illegal however The Refugee Convention (to which the UK is a signatory) makes clear that the right to claim asylum includes those who arrive by irregular means & there is no obligation to remain in a safe country. https://www.unhcr.org/uk/about-unhcr/who-we-are/1951-refugee-convention
