First Safe Country: Rhetoric or Reality?
Let’s talk about rhetoric! Following the impromptu protest, which shut down one of two dawn raids in Glasgow where police were detaining asylum seekers, the language of “first safe country” should be under extreme scrutiny.

My very first attempt at developing a thought experiment.
This experiment is influenced by John Rawls “A Theory of Justice” and a short story in Chuck Palahniuk’s “Haunted.” I plan to continue working on this, but sooner or later it is best to put the idea out there and see how it flows and receive feedback.

There is little ambiguity that anthropogenic climate change—through the steady increase in the Earth’s mean temperature—poses the greatest threat to human rights of the 21st century, or even the entirety of human history depending upon whom you ask (Atapattu 2018, 252; Agence France-Presse 2019).
