"Does Australia's current legislation sufficiently protect the human rights of those seeking asylum in this country? For those arriving undocumented by boat, the simple answer is no, it does not. Fleeing persecution is a fundamental human right. Despite the 1951 Refugee Convention explicitly stating that those arriving undocumented, or 'illegally', should not be penalised for doing so, such people are increasingly being stripped of some of their basic human rights."
