SIR Keir Starmer has vowed to overhaul how international laws are used in Britain — in a move to end barriers to deportations.
The PM says he does not want to tear down human rights laws, but insisted “we need to look again at their interpretation” by UK courts.

Sir Keir told the BBC there is a difference between countries with “summary execution” and a “different level of prison conditions”.
He said hurdles include Article 3 of the European Convention of Human Rights, which bans torture, and Article 8, right to family life.
The PM also named the UN’s Refugee, Torture and Child Rights conventions.
Sir Keir said laws must be “applied in the circumstances as they are now” as nations face “mass migration in a way that we have not seen in previous years.”
He added: “I believe that those genuinely fleeing persecution should be afforded asylum and that is a compassionate act.”
Sir Keir is set to today co-chair a migration meeting at the European Political Community summit in Copenhagen, Denmark.
He is expected to use the talks to push for tougher joint action to smash people-smuggling gangs and to tighten how Europe’s human rights rules are applied.
