ASYLUM SEEKERS IN AUSTRALIA

Introduction

There are many individuals who receive threats from their countries and countrymen. These threats also include fatal attacks and to run from that people need international protection. Court of law decides whether the individual should be sent to the other country, depending upon the genuineness of the allegations imposed on him by the individuals. If he proves himself to be clean from all sorts of problems and allegations then he is sent to another country where his rights can be safeguarded along with the permission and approval of the particular government. The only way to protect such individuals is to grant them asylum (Gibney M. J., 2004, pp. 8). In Australia many asylum seekers visit to safeguard their personal interests.

According to the government the CAT committee matters are just propagated though in reality there are no such realities. In Australia for the last 50 years and more same method of law is implemented for the unauthorized refugees who entered Australia without proper documentations. This is the right time to take required actions in order to make Australia a better place to live. Asylum seekers are vulnerable to the goodwill of the receiving country (McMaster D., 2001, pp. 8).

The law practice with respect to asylum seekers is exactly the same as it was back in 1958. From the acts one can easily observe and conclude the main points.
