Liberty publishes joint statement marking ECHR’s 75th anniversary

Liberty has announced that nearly 300 organisations have signed a joint statement marking the 75th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), expressing continued support for the ECHR and the Human Rights Act 1998 (HRA 1998). The statement raises concerns about the increasing use of human rights frameworks as political scapegoats and encourages constructive engagement with their role in public life.

OECD publishes 2025 International Migration Outlook

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has published the 2025 edition of its International Migration Outlook, analysing recent developments in migration movements and the labour market inclusion of immigrants across OECD countries. The 49th edition reviews 2024 migration data and monitors policy changes in migration governance and integration. It also features two special chapters—one examining the role of firms in immigrant integration and another on the international migration of health professionals—highlighting the continued impact of migration on OECD labour markets and health systems. The report notes that while overall permanent migration to most OECD countries declined in 2024, the United States experienced rising inflows and a record foreign-born population, with migration patterns increasingly shaped by seasonal work and humanitarian movements.
