“Just as it is a basic rule of history that nations which cannot defend their borders will not long survive, it is a basic rule of politics that political systems which cannot control their borders will not maintain the consent of the people, and thus not long endure,” she said during a speech made in Washington DC on Tuesday.
Mrs Braverman said European and United Nations’ the challenge of getting member states to agree on changes makes the accord of human rights a struggle to update.
Braverman said there was also a “more cynical” reason for not broaching reforms, arguing there was a “fear of being branded a racist or illiberal”.
She said offering asylum to a person because they are gay, a woman or fearing discrimination in their home country is not sustainable.
“The global asylum framework is a promissory note that the West cannot fulfil,” she warned.
“We have created a system of almost infinite supply, incentivising millions of people to try their luck, knowing full well that we have no capacity to meet more than a fraction of demand.”
