The Conservatives are advocating for a change in UK law to exempt immigration decisions from the provisions of the Human Rights Act. Party leader Kemi Badenoch has criticized how the act allows some foreign criminals and migrants to evade deportation, citing its misuse in claims of family life rights. Although she has not called for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights, the proposed amendment to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill aims to shift powers from the courts to elected officials, establishing a clearer political divide with Labour.
The Conservatives' proposal aims to amend immigration law, allowing Parliament to control deportations while limiting human rights challenges currently enabled by the Human Rights Act.
Kemi Badenoch insists some foreign criminals misuse the Human Rights Act, undermining deportation efforts, and believes judges often interpret the law too leniently.
