Almost 60 million people were forcibly displaced at the end of 2014; alarmingly, over half of the world's refugees are children. One in every 122 humans worldwide is now either a refugee, internally displaced, or seeking asylum - if this were a nation's population, it would be the world's 24th most populous. The war in Syria, currently the world's single largest driver of displacement, has forced millions into neighbouring countries and throughout Europe, in the process challenging border security and nations' capacity and willingness to help. What is a refugee, and why are their numbers increasing? What are better-off countries doing to respond to this growing global crisis? What are Australia's human rights obligations to asylum seekers in relation to immigration detention and 'stopping the boats'? This book explores global refugee trends, and discusses Australia's response to the plight of asylum seekers and refugees. In our practically borderless global society, how should Australia play its part in dealing with this unprecedented humanitarian crisis?Issues in society (Balmain, N.S.W.) ;Volume 404.RefugeesAustraliaRefugeesGovernment policyAustraliaDetention of personsAustraliaRefugeesRefugeesGovernment policyDetention of persons362.870994Healey JustinMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910822388903321The global refugee crisis4034196UNINA02569nam 22005654a 450 991081991160332120200520144314.00-674-02923-210.4159/9780674029231(CKB)1000000000786840(SSID)ssj0000143959(PQKBManifestationID)11152593(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000143959(PQKBWorkID)10119899(PQKB)11236500(MiAaPQ)EBC3300139(DE-B1597)457575(OCoLC)979739798(DE-B1597)9780674029231(Au-PeEL)EBL3300139(CaPaEBR)ebr10313856(OCoLC)923109357(EXLCZ)99100000000078684020040922d2005 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtccrEdge of empires Chinese elites and British colonials in Hong Kong /John M.
