Summary
European countries, including the UK, have signed a joint declaration urging courts to give greater deference to national governments in migration cases in order to make the deportation of illegal migrants easier. The declaration, adopted at a summit in Moldova, argues that modern migration pressures and people smuggling threaten European democracy and require stronger state responses.

The document calls on the European Court of Human Rights to leave most immigration matters to member states and emphasizes that countries have a sovereign right to control immigration and remove foreign nationals in the public interest. It also supports the possibility of “return hubs” outside Europe, similar to Italy’s arrangement with Albania for rejected migrants.

While reaffirming the absolute ban on torture under Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the declaration argues that deportations should not be blocked simply because the receiving country has poorer healthcare or social conditions than Europe, except in very exceptional circumstances. It also states that the right to family life does not automatically prevent deportation and that national courts are best placed to balance individual rights against public safety and national interests.

Critics warn that the declaration could weaken human rights protections or have little practical impact if judges choose to ignore it.
