<p>The Home Office does not routinely monitor the treatment of people once they are
removed from the UK. Returns are only undertaken when the Home Office and courts deem
it is safe to do so.</p><p>All asylum and human rights claims from Jamaican nationals
are carefully considered on their individual merits in accordance with our international
obligations. Each individual assessment is made against the background of the latest
available country of origin information and any relevant caselaw.</p><p>Country of
origin information is based on evidence taken from a wide range of reliable sources,
including reputable media outlets; local, national and international organisations,
including human rights organisations; and information from the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office.Where a person is found not to need protection, they usually have a right of
appeal to the courts. The Home Office only seeks to return those whose asylum claim
has been unsuccessful. By definition, they do not need protection and not at risk
on return.</p><p>The UK is under no obligation to monitor the treatment of unsuccessful
asylum seekers who have returned to their country of origin. They are, by definition,
foreign nationals who have been found as a matter of law not to need the UK’s protection,
and who have no legal basis of stay in the UK. It would be inappropriate for the UK
to assume any ongoing responsibility for them when they return to their own country.</p><p>Should
the Home Office receive any specific allegations that a returnee has experienced ill-treatment
on return to their country of origin, these would be investigated in partnership with
the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).</p>
