I believe that would have an enormous effect, Aggers, if it was applied continually and with lots of publicity. Unfortunately no such resolution will ever be passed in the UN nor in any regional grouping such as the EU. The bleeding hearts brigades will see to that.
What countries could do, but for some reason will not, is apply International law, which, as Kaz states, requires refugees to seek asylum in the nearest safe state, as defined by the UN. By definition that would rarely be the UK or most of the EU. Illegal immigrants and bogus asylum seekers should simply be sent back to their last port of call with no questions asked.
