What Exactly Is A 'Safe Third Country' Agreement?

The video discusses the US-Guatemala safe third country agreement, which allows the US to send migrants to Guatemala if they passed through it on their way to the US. This agreement is controversial as it is not explicitly covered by international law, and critics argue Guatemala does not meet the criteria of a safe third country due to its poverty and weak asylum system. The video also compares this agreement to the US-Canada agreement and highlights the challenges in implementing such deals.
