UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman, is set to deliver a powerful speech in the United States on Wednesday, calling on world leaders to take decisive action against outdated asylum rules and the smuggling of migrants. Braverman will highlight the UK's "innovative approaches" to tackling small boats and present a comprehensive plan for other countries to combat the ongoing crisis.
The Home Office recently reported that no channel crossings took place last week, indicating a temporary decline in illegal migration through this route. However, the statistics reveal that a shocking 24,000 dinghies have already made the treacherous journey this year.
Outdated conventions and the need for change
In her speech, Braverman will express concern over the unsustainable pressures caused by illegal migration and mass movements of people across the globe. She questions the effectiveness of international conventions and legal frameworks that were designed decades ago, emphasizing the need for adaptation in this age of jet travel and smartphones. Braverman will highlight the urgent need for collaborative action, as failing to address these challenges risks undermining the democratic legitimacy of political institutions. She intends to discuss this crisis with American counterparts during her visit to Washington.
Fighting child abuse online and combating the fentanyl epidemic
Apart from addressing the small boats crisis, Braverman will also visit the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to gain insights into their efforts in battling sick paedophiles and child abuse online. Additionally, she plans to be briefed on the deadly fentanyl epidemic that is wreaking havoc in the United States.
