UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime
The Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime represents a major step forward in the internationally co-operative fight against transnational organized crime. This book offers a comprehensive, article by article legal commentary on the UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime and its two Protocols on Trafficking in Persons and Smuggling of Migrants. The Convention was adopted by the General Assembly in 2001 and came into force i…
Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime
Pandemics, Punishment, and Public Health
This article examines the scope, application, and implications of criminal offences relating to the containment of COVID-19 in Australia. Drawing in part on existing research concerning criminalisation of HIV transmission, the article highlights actual and potential discriminatory consequences of the criminal justice approach to COVID-19, as well as consequences for persons’ right to health. The article concludes that criminal offences relating t…
Turning Back the Boats’
At the end of 2013, the Australian Government reintroduced a policy to turn around or tow back vessels carrying irregular migrants, many of them asylum seekers. This policy is designed to prevent their arrival in Australia and return them to the place from where the vessels departed. A similar policy was in operation in late 2001 when, in the aftermath of the so-called ‘Tampa Affair’, four vessels were returned to Indonesia. This article examines…
Counting Shadows – Measuring trafficking in Persons in Australia
The true extent and nature of trafficking in persons in Australia remains a mystery despite wild speculations about the scale of this problem. This article aims to dispel some of the confusion surrounding trafficking in persons by examining the claims made about the prevalence of this offence and displacing many of the myths about the number of victims in Australia. This involves an analysis of the Australian Government’s approach to data collect…
Non-Criminalization of Smuggled Migrants
Article 5 of the United Nations Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea, and Air, to which Australia is a state party, requires states not to criminalize migrants for being the object of migrant smuggling. This international obligation raises questions about Australia’s response to migrant smuggling and its treatment of asylum seekers. This article examines the principle that smuggled migrants should not be punished for seeking re…
Australia's Child Sex Tourism Offences
In April 2010, the Australian Government added and amended child sex tourism offences in the Criminal Code (Cth). These offences employ extraterritorial jurisdiction to criminalise a range of sexual activities with children by Australians, where that activity occurs outside Australia. These offences broaden the scope of activity that is criminalised, as well as making definitional changes that affect the onus of proof. This article explores how e…
Return and Reintegration of Human Trafficking Victims from Australia
The return and reintegration process is a commonly under-represented consideration across policy and literature concerning trafficking in persons. It is often distinct or absent from the core anti-trafficking themes of prevention, protection, and prosecution. This article explores the nature and quality of the programs and processes under which victims of trafficking in persons are returned and reintegrated from Australia. It examines victim demo…
Trafficking in persons in Australia
The true extent of Australia's human trafficking problem is not fully known, largely due to the clandestine nature of this phenomenon. Anecdotal evidence, media reports, and statistical estimates without proper evidentiary bases are the only sources of information currently available about trafficking in persons in Australia. This article produces a more accurate assessment of the scale of trafficking in persons in the light of the open source ev…
Mafias and Motorbikes
In 2006, New South Wales became the first jurisdiction in Australia to introduce specific offences aimed at criminalising the participation in a criminal organisation, with the enactment of the Crimes Legislation Amendment (Gangs) Act 2006 (NSW). Similar proposals have been presented to Parliament in Queensland in May 2007 and in South Australia in November 2007. This article examines the new organised crime provisions in these states, analyses t…
North Korean Refugees and International Refugee Law
The severe food crisis of the 1990s forced thousands of North Koreans to leave their country in search of food. Most of them crossed the border into China, to which the Government of the People's Republic of China (the PRC) responded by forcibly repatriating defectors to North Korea, thus placing many of them at risk of being subjected to inhumane and degrading treatment and, at times, even death. This article provides an overview of the situatio…
Migrant Smuggling
"This study provides a comprehensive analysis of migrant smuggling in Australia and the Asia Pacific region in its different aspects and dimensions. It examines the nature, characteristics and maginitude, the causes, conditions and consequences of migrant smuggling, and the inadequacies of existing policies and legislation. It compiles, reviews and analyses existing and proposed legislation at national, regional and international levels. It forwa…
To Deter, Detain and Deny
The growing number of boat people arriving since 1989 has brought with it a change of Australia's treatment of refugees. The introduction of mandatory detention of unauthorised arrivals in particular marks the beginning of a gradual slide into a policy of ‘deterrence, detention and denial’ by systematically discriminating against asylum seekers. Since 1989, the status and rights of persons seeking asylum in Australia have been significantly restr…
