Governments should be legally permitted to deport migrants to third countries, even when those countries are not their countries of origin

Every source cited on this claim, counted once at its highest evidence strength and grouped by the side it supports. Generated from this page's own evidence rows — the same records the verdict is computed from — so the chart and the score cannot disagree. Strength labels follow the scoring methodology.

The clearest visual context for the third-country debate: responsibility for refugees is already concentrated in countries near conflict zones, rather than wealthy destination states. It helps readers assess claims that third-country transfers redistribute an existing burden or externalize responsibility onto states with fewer resources.

Shows concretely which states bear responsibility for refugees and that major host countries are often not the countries of origin or the richest potential destination states. This is useful for comparing voluntary burden-sharing with legally compelled or coercive third-country removal arrangements.

Provides the scale and long-term trend that drives proposals for external processing and third-country arrangements, while also making clear that administrative transfer policies operate within a much larger global protection crisis.
