Climate Protest and the Right of Resistance in International Law
This paper examines the actions of the current climate protest movement and the criminal sanctions and other laws which have been introduced in a number of jurisdictions aimed at restricting such protests. It analyses these developments from an international human rights law perspective and argues that utilising the concept of a right of resistance under international law appropriately and accurately reflects the historical and socio-economic und…
Queer gan teanga, queer gan anam
We present a statistical analysis of LGBTQIA+ and Irish-speaking communities within Northern Ireland, using the 2021 Northern Ireland Census responses. We find a strong positive correlation between memberships of these communities ( p ≪ 10 − 10 ) , with LGBTQIA+ individuals being 38 . 0% more likely to report some proficiency with Irish than straight individuals, and Irish speakers 54 . 4% more likely to identify as LGBTQIA+ than non-Irish-speake…
Rewriting Internal Relocation from a Refugee Perspective - The Lived Experience of Refugees in Afghanistan
This article is part of a broader project aimed at rewriting refugee law jurisprudence from a lived refugee perspective. The co-authors, one of whom is a refugee from Afghanistan, have chosen internal relocation as the subject of this project as it is a problematic and controversial principle of international refugee law which we believe is frequently applied without due consideration of the practical experience of refugees. Internal relocation p…
Persecution, International Refugee Law and Refugees
This important contribution to refugee law literature by Mathilde Crépin explores the scope and meaning of persecution in international refugee law and its relevance for refugee women. Although gender is not included as a ground in the 1951 Refugee Convention, and the experiences of refugee women have traditionally been ignored in the formulation of core refugee law principles, more recent jurisprudence and academic commentary have recognized the…
Revitalising Public Law in a Technological Era
Author Yee-Fui Ng, Maria O’Sullivan, Moira Paterson and Normann Witzleb This article examines how public law should be revitalised in light of the increasing use of technology in government decision-making. As the recent controversy concerning the implementation of an automated debt recovery system by the Department of Social Services illustrates, the automation of government decision-making engages fundamental legal principles such as transparen…
Protecting Vulnerable Refugees
Refugee Status Determination is a powerful example of the way in which vulnerability and the law interact. This article examines this interaction by analysing a case study: the special protection visa application procedure in place for certain asylum seekers in Australia (the ‘Fast Track Assessment’ process) and the implications of this for procedural fairness. We conclude that the current legislative framework for the Fast Track Assessment proce…
The Sanctity of Asylum
In early 2016, representatives from a number of churches in Australia publicly stated that they would offer sanctuary to asylum seekers who were at risk of deportation to Nauru. These statements were made after the High Court handed down a decision which rejected a challenge to the constitutionality of the Nauru Regional Processing Centre. The offer of sanctuary by certain churches in Australia is a significant development both legal and politica…
The ethics of resettlement
One of the key problems at the heart of refugee protection today is that there are large numbers of refugees attempting to seek asylum and insufficient political will in many asylum-host states to receive refugees in their territories. A proportion of these attempt to come to Australia to seek refuge – either by requesting a resettlement place through the auspices of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, or by arriving directly in Au…
The ‘Best Interests’ of Asylum-Seeker Children
Unaccompanied asylum-seeker children - those under 18 years of age who arrive in a country seeking asylum without their parents - are regarded as particularly vulnerable individuals. Given that they lack the protection of both their home State, and their parents, such children are at special risk of being exposed to harm. In recognition of this vulnerability, a number of UN bodies and other international non-governmental organisations have recogn…
Acting the Part
This article examines the concept of a non-state actor of protection under European Union asylum law and the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. The need to grapple with this concept has arisen primarily from the wording of article 7(1) of the EC Qualification Directive, which sets out an expansive interpretation of non-state actors, and the decision of the European Court of Justice in Abdulla and ors, which extends this concept t…

Withdrawing Protection Under Article 1C(5) of the 1951 Convention
This article analyses the application of Article 1C(5) of the Refugee Convention in Australia. Article 1C(5) provides that refugee status may cease to apply to a refugee where the circumstances giving rise to his or her refugee status have ceased to exist (for instance, where there has been a relevant change in circumstances in the refugee's home country). This cessation clause has rarely been applied to recognised refugees by states parties to t…
Past’ Violations under International Human Rights Law
This article examines the debate relating to reparations for ‘past’ human rights violations, with particular focus on the case of the indigenous ‘Stolen Generation’ in Australia. The ‘Stolen Generation’ is a term used to describe the government-sanctioned practice of forced removals of part-Aboriginal children from their indigenous parents and placement into non-indigenous institutions and homes, which occurred in Australia from approximately 191…
