US EditionNigel Farage Does Not Have Right to “Tear up” Good Friday Agreement, SDLP Leader Says
Nigel Farage aims to remove human rights law from the Good Friday Agreement to facilitate deportation of illegal migrants, targeting over three-quarters of arrivals as young undocumented males, Reform UK said.
- Nigel Farage stated that a Reform UK administration would aim to renegotiate the 1998 Good Friday Agreement to eliminate mentions of the continent-wide human rights framework that currently underpins the treaty.
- Farage aims to make deporting illegal migrants easier by leaving the ECHR and repealing the Human Rights Act, which underpin the peace deal’s legal framework.
- The Good Friday Agreement ended decades of sectarian violence and was brokered by the UK, Ireland, and the US, embedding the ECHR into Northern Ireland law.
- SDLP leader Claire Hanna said Farage has no right to tear up the agreement, calling him a populist with simplistic solutions to complex issues.
- Critics warn Farage’s plans risk destabilizing Northern Ireland and promoting division, while Reform pledges to deport 600,000 asylum seekers and expand detention capacity.
