I have.
What part in particular interests you?
I'm curious.
Quote:C. This Convention shall cease to apply to any person falling under the
terms of section A if:
(1) He has voluntarily re-availed himself of the protection of the country
of his nationality;
Those going back to their country of origin "for a holiday", as an example, lose their refugee status.
Quote:E. This Convention shall not apply to a person who is recognized by the
competent authorities of the country in which he has taken residence as
having the rights and obligations which are attached to the possession of the
nationality of that country.
They step into a country of safe haven and take residence there, being recognised by the authorities, they lose their refugee status. Take note of boat arrivals who have disembarked from Indonesia. It becomes Indonesia's problem to look after asylum seekers. At the very least, Indonesia should process them for the possible relocation to Australia, through proper refugee channels. Not house them as slaves to earn up enough money to travel by boat as an unauthorised arrival.
Quote:F. The provisions of this Convention shall not apply to any person with
respect to whom there are serious reasons for considering that:
(a) he has committed a crime against peace, a war crime, or a crime against
humanity, as defined in the international instruments drawn up to
make provision in respect of such crimes;
(b) he has committed a serious non-political crime outside the country of
refuge prior to his admission to that country as a refugee;
Unauthorised arrival to any place before travelling on to Australia for the purpose of claiming refugee status is considered a breach of the laws. We don't know the identity of the asylum seekers. Have they committed serious crimes in their home country? Is their escape motivated by evading the law?
Quote:Article 27
identity papers
The Contracting States shall issue identity papers to any refugee in their territory who does not possess a valid travel document.
How do we know? Someone escaping persecution will not want authorities to contact authorities in the country of origin to find out the identity of the fleeing asylum seeker. There may be a remote possibility that the asylum seeker could be hunted down by fanatical lunatics harbouring such a hatred. And if authorities of the country of origin do say that the asylum seeker is a wanted criminal, can that claim be trusted as genuine enough to extradite the accused back to their country for prosecution?
