United Kingdom's newly-appointed Home Secretary James Cleverly cautioned that Britain's potential exit from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) could end up undermining the country's efforts to curb illegal migration.
In an exclusive interview with The Times, Cleverly advised against solely focusing on the Rwanda migration scheme, emphasizing that while it plays a crucial role in Britain's plan to stop people from crossing the Channel in small boats, it is just one component of a broader strategy.
The far-right members of the Conservative Party are pressuring the government to withdraw from the ECHR and the United Nations Refugee Convention in light of the Supreme Court's ruling against the Rwanda plan, arguing that abandoning the international treaties or proposing a bill to "disapply" them would grant Britain greater control over its borders.
