What is the ECHR, and why does Farage want the UK to leave?

On Tuesday morning Reform UK leader Nigel Farage delivered a speech in Oxford announcing that the UK would leave the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) if his party were in power.

But what might be the unintended consequences of such a move?
