Italy and respective another EU countries are demanding a revision of the European Convention on Human Rights, due to besides broad interpretations of its rights, which do not conform to reality. Especially with respect to the rights of migrants and refugees.
In addition to Italy, representatives of Denmark, the Czech Republic, Poland, Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania besides called for a "new and open discussion on the explanation of the European Convention on Human Rights". The initiative is headed by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
Signatories of the open letter want to "rebalance the right balance" with respect to government protecting migrants' rights. The convention, which entered into force in 1953 protects the right to life, prohibits slavery, torture and degrading treatment. It points to freedom of speech and the prohibition of discrimination, as well as the right to household life.
The point is that the explanation of these provisions by the European Court of Human Rights, which gives binding rulings, has been so extended that it is now distorting their first sense. For example, government relating to the right to household life is utilized to undermine and destruct the conventional model of the family.
A letter calling for a review was published following a gathering in Rome with Meloni and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, who took a firm position on migration. The another signatories joined recently.
The leaders of the European countries besides want to adopt fresh regulations to let for faster return of illegal arrivals to another countries.
The authors of the letter stated that the time had come for “a discussion on how global conventions respond to the challenges we face today.” They called for "a look at how the European Court of Human Rights developed its explanation of the European Convention on Human Rights".
The ECHR late dealt with cases against Latvia, Lithuania and Poland concerning the alleged unlawful treatment of migrants. The judges ordered Denmark to amend the rules on household reunification. The Court has issued a number of judgments against the government in Rome on migrants.
In this context, European leaders ask, "Did the Court in any cases not extend the scope of the Convention besides far... thereby affecting the balance between the interests which should be protected."
"We believe that the improvement of the Court's interpretations has in any cases limited our ability to make political decisions in our own democracies", added.
Meloni, who has come to power, promising to reduce illegal migration, is presently facing legal problems concerning the creation of centres for migrants in Albania. Italian judges refuse to accept deportations to Albania of migrants intercepted by Italian authorities at sea. They're directing matters to the ETPC.
Due to akin plans to deport illegal arrivals to Rwanda who arrived in the UK, London besides has problems with ETPC.
