Everyone has the right to seek asylum under international law, but
public discourse in Australia about refugees is dominated by
scare-mongering and political point-scoring. The government seeks
to 'stop the boats' whatever the cost, be it human, economic, moral
or legal. In this new book, Jane McAdam and Fiona Chong find that
Australia's policies towards refugees have hardened since their
previous bestselling book was published five years ago. Now,
Refugee Rights and Policy Wrongs provides a wholly updated account
of Australian refugee law and policy. Clearly and carefully, they
explain who a refugee is, what rights refugees have under
international law, and whether Australia's policies on offshore
processing, detention, boat turnbacks and so on violate Australia's
obligations under international law. The book also outlines what a
human rights-based protection framework might look like and how
Australia could show greater global leadership on refugee issues,
so as to expand the protection space available to refugees in the
Asia-Pacific region. McAdam and Chong trace the ways in which
draconian domestic laws enacted over recent years blatantly
contravene international law -obligations that Australia has
voluntarily signed up to. People seeking asylum, especially those
held indefinitely on Manus Island and Nauru, have been broken as a
result. The crucial information and depth of understanding this
book offers has never been more urgent. Key focal points: Refugee
Rights and Policy Wrongs is the most current book on the topic, and
includes the so-called medevac legislation that became law on 1
March 2019. Includes full discussion of more recent developments
such as Operation Sovereign Borders, with its focus on boat
turnbacks, which are shrouded in secrecy. Covers the issue of
whether refugees can bring their cases to Australian courts under
the provisions of international law.
