UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman has raised concerns about the effectiveness of international human rights laws and called for their overhaul in order to tackle the ongoing illegal migration crisis. Braverman is set to urge countries around the world to replicate the UK's "blueprint" for dealing with the issue, citing the example of the Rwanda plan. She asserts that countries failing to address the crisis risk losing their democratic legitimacy.
"Plan B" Considered If Supreme Court Blocks Rwanda Flight
According to sources, the UK government is "war gaming" a backup plan, referred to as "plan B", in the event that the Supreme Court once again blocks the Rwanda flight. This comes as Conservative Members of Parliament demand that the UK withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) if judges continue to interfere with the government's approach.
Braverman Calls for Tougher Action on Borders
Ahead of her upcoming speech in Washington, Braverman has issued a challenge to countries across the world to adopt a tougher stance on border control. She highlights the unsustainable pressure caused by illegal migration and mass movement of people, particularly in America, the UK, and Europe. Braverman questions the relevance of international conventions and legal frameworks established over fifty years ago in the face of contemporary challenges posed by technologies like jet travel and smartphones. She warns that failure to address these challenges could lead to a loss of democratic legitimacy for political institutions.
PM Urged to Unveil Stronger Anti-Migrant Plan If Supreme Court Blocks Rwanda Flights
Tory MPs are calling on Prime Minister Boris Johnson to introduce an even more stringent plan if the Supreme Court rules against the Rwanda flights. Some MPs argue that if the government is hindered by the human rights framework, it should withdraw from the ECHR. Former Cabinet ministers Simon Clarke and Jacob Rees-Mogg both express concerns that failure to implement the Rwanda plan or withdraw from the ECHR would undermine the government's position.
Despite promises from Chancellor Rishi Sunak to stem the flow of illegal crossings, nearly 24,000 people have already been detected crossing the English Channel this year.
