It would also consider using "third countries" like Rwanda and Albania to house asylum seekers. Farage told the Times, external that if people know they will be detained and deported they will stop coming "very quickly". "There is only one way to stop people coming into Britain and that is to detain them and deport them." Farage also wants to take Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The treaty is a central part of UK human rights law and has been used to halt attempts to deport migrants who are deemed to be in the UK illegally.
