Convention on human rights must adapt, says Council of Europe head

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is facing increasing pressure to adapt to shifting circumstances, particularly regarding migration issues, which could lead some countries to consider altering its scope or leaving it. Advocacy groups are concerned that any reforms might weaken protections for vulnerable groups like refugees. An open letter from nine European nations, including Italy and Denmark, calls for greater national control over migration policies, signaling a shift in how the ECHR is applied globally.
