The UK High Court ruled in R (RKC1 & Ors) v Secretary of State for FCDA [2026] EWHC 440 (Admin) on 13 March 2026 that there is no right to consular assistance to evacuate Gaza under Article 8 of the ECHR. Claimants secured narrow wins on procedural grounds and legitimate expectation, but the court reaffirmed the limits of the UK's evacuation duties. The judgment clarifies that the UK government is not obliged to facilitate departure from conflict zones under human rights law.
