Refugee status determination in Australia: breaking the rules? Forced Migration Online (24276783) Migration, asylum and refugee law FORCED MIGRATION ONLINE ASYLUM SEEKERS REFUGEES REFUGEE STATUS DETERMINATION PROCEDURES INTERNATIONAL LAW HUMAN RIGHTS This article looks at the asylum regime in Australia. In particular, it evaluates the procedures that are used to assess claims for asylum and the extent to which they meet international refugee and human rights standards. This article discusses four key issues in the adjudication programme: the appointment of decision-makers to tribunals that hear refugee application, the accessibility of the review process by asylum seekers, questions relating to the efficiency of the procedures used and the mandatory detention system. It is argued that whereas Australia is party to the main international treaties that seek to protect refugees and asylum seekers, its asylum law and policy is in many ways inconsistent with international norms. To conclude, the author proposes the observance of human rights and refugee standards by asylum states. 2026-09-30T11:50:47Z Text Online resource 10.25446/oxford.33355422.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/online_resource/Refugee_status_determination_in_Australia_breaking_the_rules_/33355422 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0
