Badenoch launches review into leaving ECHR

  • On 6 June 2025, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch will initiate a commission to examine the possibility of the UK withdrawing from the European human rights framework established by the Council of Europe.
  • She cites ongoing legal blockages on immigration and border control, stating if international treaties block necessary action with no realistic change, the UK must leave them.
  • The commission, led by Shadow Attorney General Lord Wolfson of Tredegar, will apply five common-sense tests including deportation powers and protection for veterans to assess the treaty's impact.
  • Badenoch claims that approximately 30 percent of court rulings rely on exceptional human rights protections to block deportations, criticizing judges in Strasbourg for creating new legal rights and undermining democratic decisions.
  • The final decision on whether the UK leaves the ECHR will be announced at the Conservative Party Conference in October 2025, reflecting a hardening stance amid immigration system reform efforts.
