Original Note:
The UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) & the International Convention on Maritime Search & Rescue allows states to pick people up from boats if they are found lost at sea. These laws do not allow them to be taken to another state, without that country agreeing. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyxeedx40d8o https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/is-turning-back-migrants-at-sea-compatible-with-international-law/
