The Medical Border and Australia’s Extraterritorial Asylum Regime
The use of medicine – including medical knowledge, personnel, and infrastructure – has become a defining feature of contemporary state immigration regimes of racial exclusion. This article theorises the concept of the ‘medical border’ to argue that state denials of decent healthcare to refugees function as a form of racialised border control, to the detriment of refugees’ dignity, autonomy, lives, and futures. Using the case study of Australia’s …
The Gender- and Sexuality-Based Harms of Refugee Externalization
Refugee externalization arrangements are increasingly common in refugee-receiving global North States. Such arrangements have broad-ranging and significant human rights implications, especially (but not only) for refugee women and LGBTQI refugees who may be at increased risk of gender- or sexuality-based harm. This is particularly the case where refugees are placed in situations of risk or harm as a result of a ‘sending’ State’s extraterritorial …
Covid-19 passports and refugees
The global COVID-19 pandemic has seen unprecedented state border closures and a proliferation of novel restrictions on human mobility both within and between states. This article examines the human rights implications for refugees and asylum seekers of one COVID-19 response measure within and beyond Australia: namely, the adoption of COVID-19 vaccination passport systems. We argue that the use of COVID-19 passport systems in 2021 intensified and …
Refugee Women and the Gendered Violence of Australia’s Extraterritorial Asylum Regime on Nauru
This article examines the gendered harms of state refugee externalisation laws and policies using the case study of Australia’s extraterritorial asylum regime on Nauru. While the regime has been widely criticised, the particular carceral experiences and structural vulnerabilities of refugee women and girls have received limited attention in refugee law scholarship. Drawing on interviews with 10 refugee women, this article documents and conceptual…
Refugees and Asylum Seekers as Workers
This article analyses the emerging evidence of labour exploitation of refugees and asylum seekers on temporary visas in Australia. Over the last decade, Australia’s temporary protection regime has been marked by profound uncertainty in relation to visa status, unfettered Ministerial discretion, and the punitive exercise of governmental power. We argue that this framework amounts to abuse of governmental power, confining refugees and asylum seeker…
Covid-19 and Sites of Confinement
The global COVID-19 pandemic starkly revealed the underlying structural harms and produced vulnerabilities for people living in closed congregate settings like immigration detention centres (‘IDCs’) and residential aged care facilities (‘RACFs’). This article compares the Australian legal regimes that regulate IDCs and RACFs, conceptualising both as authorising and enabling sites of control, confinement and social isolation. We argue that specifi…
Acusações de Bruxaria Como Perseguição Baseada no Gênero no Direito dos Refugiados
A violência relacionada à bruxaria (VRB), particularmente direcionada a mulheres e crianças, tem se tornado uma fonte de crescente preocupação para organizações de direitos humanos neste século. Contudo, para aqueles que fogem de VRB, tal preocupação não tem se refletido no reconhecimento da condição de refugiado. Esta pesquisa examina como alegações de VRB foram abordadas em todas as decisões de refúgio disponíveis em inglês, oriundas de cinco j…
Film as an anti-asylum technique
In 2015, the Australian government commissioned a telemovie as part of its strategic communication campaign to deter would-be asylum seekers from travelling to Australia unauthorised by boat. In this article we explore this film as one instance of state practices that seek to control migration at their borders, and a form of state messaging which uses gendered story-telling techniques and characterisations to do so. Officially termed ‘public info…
Covid-19 and the relentless harms of Australia’s punitive immigration detention regime
Calls for the urgent release of people seeking asylum, refugees and other non-citizens held in immigration detention centres began as soon as the magnitude and reach of the global health crisis associated with COVID-19 became clear.Public health organisations quickly identified detention centres, as sites of mandatory and often overcrowded social confinement, as extremely high risk places for both infection and onward transmission of COVID-19.In …
Witchcraft Accusations as Gendered Persecution in Refugee Law
Witchcraft-related violence (WRV), in particular directed towards women and children, has become a source of increasing concern for human rights organizations in the current century. Yet for those fleeing WRV, this heightened attention has not translated across into refugee status. This research examines how claims of WRV were addressed in all available asylum decisions in English, drawn from five jurisdictions. We argue that WRV is a manifestati…
