Denmark and UK call for human rights treaty changes to restrict immigration

Starmer and Frederiksen, who have toughened immigration policies in their countries, called for a "modernisation of the interpretation" of the ECHR, which came into force in 1953. The leaders said their proposal is "so that the convention system, which we believe in, can evolve to reflect the challenges of the 21st century". They argued that without a change "the forces that seek to divide us will grow stronger," in a clear reference to surging support for hard-right political parties across Europe.
