The Plan to transport asylum seekers who enter the UK unlawfully to Rwanda , where they can apply to settle, will allow people fleeing persecution to find safety, they said.
And they added that the UK's investment in Rwanda - an initial £120m for educational projects - would help to address the lack of opportunities which drive economic migration.
" We Are taking bold and innovative steps and it's surprising that those institutions that criticise the plans fail to offer their own Solutions , " they wrote.
" Allowing this suffering to continue is no longer an option for any humanitarian nation. "

Opposition parties and some Conservative MPs have also criticised The Plan , while and urged the Prime Minister and Ms Patel to scrap it.
Among their concerns was Rwanda 's own Human Rights record, with the UK having raised in The East African nation at the UN Last Year .

While the home secretary and the Rwandan Foreign Secretary said The Plan would " deter migrants from putting their lives at risk" by making Dangerous Journeys , a letter from the Home Office 's top official said.
Permanent Secretary Matthew Rycroft warned the policy had a high cost and would only be value for money if it reduced The Number of Channel crossings and other illegal entries to the UK.
