Prime Minister Announces Sweeping Overhaul of International Asylum Law
The Prime Minister has revealed plans to overhaul international asylum law, sparking widespread debate on the issue of migrant deportation.
According to sources, the PM wants to change how Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights is interpreted, which protects against torture and degrading treatment. This move aims to prevent unsuccessful asylum seekers from blocking their deportation by claiming they could face worse conditions in their home country.
The Prime Minister's comments come after his Home Secretary outlined plans to tighten rules for migrants seeking indefinite leave to remain. The PM stressed that those genuinely fleeing persecution should still be given asylum, but acknowledged the need for change due to "mass migration" in recent years.
This move has significant implications for migrant deportation policies and raises questions about human rights protections. The opposition leader, Sir Keir Starmer, has indicated he will review human rights laws in light of this development.
