Having proposed the UK will only allow refugees temporary residence, returning them when their home countries are 'safe', it looks like this will involve a shift in the interpretation of Article 3 of the ECHR, which blocks states from returning individuals to a country if they face the risk of torture or 'inhumane or degrading treatment'!

Shabana Mahmood (Home Sec.) believes the definition of 'inhumane & degrading' has expanded 'beyond what is reasonable'!
