UK Conservatives Seek to Exempt Immigration Cases from Human Rights Act

Proposed amendment would shift immigration decision-making from courts to Parliament, limiting the influence of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The Conservative Party has proposed an amendment to the Border Security, Asylum, and Immigration Bill to disapply the Human Rights Act for immigration cases.
The change would prevent migrants from using the Human Rights Act to appeal deportation or other immigration-related decisions in UK courts.
Kemi Badenoch, Tory leader, argues the move is necessary to counter 'distorted interpretations of international laws' and strengthen border control.
The amendment would not remove the UK from the European Convention on Human Rights but would reduce its direct application in immigration matters.
Labour is expected to oppose the amendment, with Conservatives framing the proposal as a key test of Labour's border security policies.
