Plenary chamber of the Council of Europe – Wiki CommonsOffshore migrant camps are the name of the game.For years, in Europe, suggesting that unchecked mass migration was a bad thing was considered ‘far-right’ and ‘racist’.But those days are far from over, and even the most liberal of countries have now begun implementing policies to deal at least minimally with the invasion.Italy under Giorgia Meloni has the ‘Albania plan’; Britain under Rishi Sunak had the ‘Rwanda plan’, in both cases, camps were built to receive failed ‘asylum seekers’ (a.k.a. economic migrants) outside the European Union, as a way to start dealing with the migrant invasion.Both in Italy and the UK, the deportations to the camps were stopped by activist judges, on the grounds that the plans were illegal in the face of the ‘European Convention on Human Rights’.Now, a group of European governments is demanding permission to run offshore migrant camps, in a push to reform the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
