Some Conservative MPs are calling for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) to follow through on the prime minister's pledge to halt migrant crossings into the UK, which has sparked division within the party.

Critics argue that leaving the ECHR could breach the Good Friday Agreement, as large parts of the agreement rely on the ECHR. The agreement pledges to incorporate the ECHR into Northern Ireland law to protect citizens' rights.

While the government's official position has been to remain in the ECHR, some interpret recent statements as a sign of potential withdrawal, raising concerns about its impact on the peace process in Northern Ireland.
