US Edition9 EU countries want a new interpretation of European rights to ease deportations
- On May 22 in Rome, leaders from nine EU nations urged a revised approach to the European Court of Human Rights’ application of the rights treaty to more effectively manage irregular migration and enhance deportation measures.
- They argued that the European Court of Human Rights’ rulings have restricted national governments' ability to act and hindered the removal of migrants convicted of offenses.
- The call accompanies EU plans to broaden the 'safe third country' rule, allowing asylum applications to be rejected if applicants can obtain protection elsewhere, intensifying debate on migration policies.
- Unauthorized entries into European Union territory have decreased by 27% this year, with Frontex reporting approximately 20,000 arrivals via the Mediterranean in April, primarily from Bangladesh, Eritrea, Pakistan, and Syria.
- The leaders’ appeal suggests rising political pressure to balance human rights obligations with stronger migration controls amid criticism from rights groups over potential restrictions on asylum rights.
