Nine EU states are targeting the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights in a wider bid to deport unwanted migrants.
A letter spearheaded by Denmark, which is set to take over the rotating EU presidency from July, is demanding more leeway on deporting people who have committed crimes.
Published on Thursday (22 May), the letter was signed by leaders of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Italy, and Poland.
It faults the court for placing rights restrictions on deportations of "criminal foreign nationals".
They are also unhappy on how the court interprets the European Convention on Human Rights, drafted in 1950 by the human-rights watchdogs at the Council of Europe.
A spokesperson from the Council of Europe said they are discussing the letter but have yet to formulate an official response.
But critics say the latest move by Europe's leaders seeks to undermine human rights and rule of law. …

This sounds like common sense. Which means the EU will fight against it tooth and nail.
With spears and shields? Oh, no, they wrote a letter,
Five of the nine signature countries were part of the Eastern Europe Soviet Bloc.
I am surprised that Hungary did not sign. Possibly, because Hungary already blocks most immigrants from crossing its borders.
This would NOT be happening in Europe without Trump's aggressive deportation policies in the USA.
Sounds like yet another crack in the cohesion of the EU.
Finally!
the last battle field is now Europe, the lazy states that bought into “you will own nothing and be happy” that are now waking up vs the utopian globalist’s and their dream that cannot fail
Happy to see this.
“This sounds like common sense. Which means the EU will fight against it tooth and nail.”
It also gets in the way of their PRIME OBJECTIVE, which, of course, is Re-population. So they can fight it, but they’ll lose.
This may finally signal the end of the EU, and the fall of Brussels power.
The EU's court is the European Court of Justice. Had these states complained about that court, it would be a very different matter.
Denmark has been deporting “migrants” and among non former Warsaw Pact nations it has probably been the most aggressive about it.
I just talked on the phone last night to a guy who lives there.
He loves it.
(He’s married to a woman from there)
Make European countries sovereign again.
If it executes the will of the EU, then it is an institution of that entity no matter how often it’s denied.
And the Council of Europe’s flag is the EU flag.
Only difference is whether you believe their lies or not.
“Executes the will of the EU”?
What on earth does that mean?
Exactly what it says. If you don’t understand that, one can also say to enforce its very arbitrary laws.
The ECHR has nothing to do with EU law, let alone its enforcement. You seem to be saying that if A criticises B, and C has affinities with B, then C is necessarily criticised also. That seems to me a very weak argument. Affinity is not identity.
I see you’re completely taken in by their lies, to the point where your posts are just rehashing their propaganda. Opus?
Whose?
