Refugee Protection in Australia
A Study in Contrasts Australia remains a “New World” country in the sense that its population base and continuing growth is built on immigration. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) reports that in the 2016 census over 28% of Australians were born overseas. Australia is in a tiny minority of states that accepts refugees for resettlement through United Nations High Commissioner for Refugee (UNHCR) programs. Since World War II the country has…
The Highest Attainable Standard’
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) creates duties for States Parties and UN agencies to ensure that individuals under their protection have equal enjoyment of the full range of human rights. This includes the Article 25 right to enjoy ‘the highest attainable standard of health without discrimination on the basis of disability.’ However, refugees, who are forced to seek protection outside their state, face particular …
Refugees and Rights
No-refoulemmt is a principle of international law that precludes states from returning a person to a place where he or she might be tortured or face persecution. The principle, codified in Article 33 of the 1951 Refugee Convention, is subject to a number of exceptions. This article examines the status of non-refoulement in international law in respect to three key areas: refugee law, human rights law and international customary law. The findings …

The Legal Protection of Refugees with Disabilities
This ground-breaking book focuses on the 'forgotten refugees', detailing people with disabilities who have crossed borders in search of protection from disaster or human conflict. The authors explore the intersection between one of the oldest international human rights treaties, the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, with one of the newest: the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Drawing on fieldwork in …
Comparing Immigration Policies
This paper introduces a method and preliminary findings from a database that systematically measures the character and stringency of immigration policies. Based on the selection of that data for nine countries between 1999 and 2008, we challenge the idea that any one country is systematically the most or least restrictive toward admissions. The data also reveal trends toward more complex and, often, more restrictive regulation since the 1990s, as…

Measuring and Comparing Immigration, Asylum and Naturalization Policies Across Countries
Academics and policy makers require a better understanding of the variation of policies that regulate global migration, asylum and immigrant naturalization. At present, however, there is no comprehensive cross‐national, time‐series database of such policies, rendering the analysis of policy trends across and within these areas difficult at best. Several new immigration databases and indices have been developed in recent years. However, there is n…
To 'Promote, Protect and Ensure
Every year, millions of people are forcibly displaced as a result of natural or human-made disasters. Although a significant proportion are persons living with a disability, remarkably little is known about the incidence and type of disabilities they experience. To design services that best respect rights and address needs, effective procedures must be devised to identify persons with disabilities in situations of displacement. This article draws…
Shadow Plays, Shifting Sands and International Refugee Law
While many Australians continue to see their roots in Western Europe, in matters concerning human rights and immigration control, Australia's culture and attitudes over time have become more closely aligned with those of States in its immediate geographical region. The trend finds obvious expression in the convergence of laws and policies governing the treatment of asylum seekers. This article uses as a case study various efforts made to establis…
Where Disability and Displacement Intersect
This article addresses a relatively new area of interest for refugee scholars: the effect on refugee law and policy of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The article explains the paradigm shifts that this Convention represents for persons with disabilities who find themselves displaced by war or persecution. It focuses on the two broad areas of most concern to refugee advocates and adjudicators working with persons with…
Do Loose Lips Bring Ships
This article explores the phenomenon of asylum seekers and irregular migrants presenting as ‘boat people’. We evaluate key aspects of policies introduced to deter and contain these people – namely mandatory detention, temporary protection visas and offshore processing. Given the high rate of deaths and injuries associated with unauthorised boat arrivals, we argue that governments should do their best to discourage or prevent people from attemptin…
Apart from us or a part of us? Immigrants' rights, public opinion and the rule of law
On 24 February 1997, the High Court handed down its long-awaited ruling in the case of Applicants A and B v Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs. The applicants were a married couple from a remote village in the Peoples' Republic of China (PRC) who came to Australia by boat in December 1993. The wife was heavily pregnant and gave birth to the couple's first child the day after arrival. The couple claimed that one or both of them would be f…
Apart from Us or a Part of Us? Immigrants' Rights, Public Opinion and the Rule of Law
(E)ach person has a unique dignity which the law respects and which it will protect. Human dignity is a value common to our municipal law and to international instruments relating to human rights. The law will protect equally the dignity of the hale and hearty and the dignity of the weak and the lame ...(Marion's Case) China's birth control program has earned a worldwide reputation as the most draconian since King Herod's slaughter of the innocen…
