Description

This course will provide an overview of Australian and International Refugee Law. After examining the international refugee regime, the course will consider the practice and politics of refugee law in Australia and examine current pressures in both Australia and internationally for refugee law reform. Students will be introduced to leading international refugee jurisprudence and to some key decisions of the Australian High Court and Federal Court. In addition, students will look at the day to day decision-making of Australian bureaucrats, and at the work of the Australian Refugee Review Tribunal. Students will participate in refugee decision making simulations.
