DEVELOPING: European Nations to Revise ECHR Migration Rules in Emergency Talks

Breaking News: European Nations to Revise ECHR Migration Rules in Emergency Talks Emergency talks on revising European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) migration rules are set to begin on Wednesday in Strasbourg. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen are leading the push for reform, urging other nations to modernize the way they tackle the continent-wide illegal migration crisis. The talks aim to make it easier for states to target people smuggling and set up "returns hubs" to hold people with no right to be in Europe. This move is seen as a significant step towards reinterpreting international human rights law to prioritize border protection. The British government has been critical of the ECHR's role in migration, claiming it hinders efforts to remove more illegal migrants. Critics argue that the ECHR's current rules are too restrictive, while supporters say claims about its impact are exaggerated. The talks are expected to result in a political declaration by the spring, outlining the new approach to migration.
