The Commonwealth of Australia recognizes that migration of refugees is a sensitive issue and what critical impact it has on the economy not only for the host countries but also for the donor countries which are supporting the movement. As a signatory to the United Nations 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and to the subsequent 1967 protocol, Australia accepts a moral responsibility as part of an international effort co-ordinated by the United Nations but with target set by the Australian policies. While more than 140 countries have ratified the UN convention and protocol, only nine have resettlement programs. On per capita basis, Australia is one of the most generous countries in terms of resettlement of refugees.

Their interest may be better served by resettlement elsewhere. The Australian government makes an annual contribution to the United Nation High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) which is the main body associated with such resettlement.

Australia, on many occasions has raised its concern regarding the increasing number of Syrian refugees. Not only the refugees should have all the basic needs fulfilled but the host country’s economy should not suffer either.

It is by far the largest donor in the Pacific Islands region. Recently the OECD Development Assistance Committee has declared that Australia has a 60 per cent share of total aid from OECD countries to the Pacific Islands region. The Australian government’s aid program has its strongest focus on the Indo-Pacific region where 22 of 24 countries are still developing and face significant poverty issues. Countries in the Indo-Pacific region will receive an estimated 92 per cent of country and regional program funding in 2014-15 (compared to 86 per cent previously) to promote prosperity, reduce poverty and enhance stability. Australia also has made notable contribution in Latin America and the Caribbean and Sub-Saharan Africa region. Australia has allocated $338.6 million of the current total aid budget to humanitarian aid, emergencies and refugee expenditure in 2014-15, with additional funding allocated to assist communities to reduce disaster risk in these

Australia’s current treatment of Asylum seekers includes taking them from an already extremely stressful environment and detaining them in remote detention facilities where they have limited interaction with family and friends.

In Australia, refugees and asylum seekers are treated like the enemy in a war: the target of a highly resourced, military-led “deterrence” strategy complete with arbitrary detainment, detention camps, guards to terrorise them, forced deportations and the violent suppression of those who protest. Australia is failing to meet the standards required when regarding the treatment of asylum seekers. It is fact that asylum seekers make up less than 3% of Australia’s annual immigration yet the idea is being distorted to that of which they will overpopulate a country that prides itself on being a multicultural society. I want to shed light on the misconception that asylum seekers are not ‘legal’ when in actual fact it is a human right to seek freedom.

Asylum seekers in Europe arrived Australia in thousands of boats but nobody complained as long as they were White. Since many refugees are Black and Brown who are with different physical characteristics to most Australians, some Australians feel somewhat resentful that those “migrants” settled in their homeland.

There are currently 800 children being held in mandatory closed immigration detention, as Australia is the only country in the world which detains asylum-seeking children as a first option (Triggs, 2014). Australia’s system of mandatory immigration detention was introduced to the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) in 1992, and requires all non-citizen children who arrive without a valid visa to be detained (Triggs, 2014). Although the introduction of these requirements into the Migration Act were enforced to ensure the effective control and management of Australia’s borders (Phillips & Spinks, 2013), the mandatory and prolonged immigration detention of children is in clear violation of Article 3(1), Article 24(1) and Article 37(b) of the Convention

This is because the United States government is so large, it is virtually impossible to track all of the various federal agencies’ programs across countries and sectors to pinpoint the exact number or amount of assistance their government provides, in terms of the citizens’ taxpayer dollars going to foreign government, or even just their militaries. However, we can focus on the three main programs where military funding is allocated, namely foreign military financing(FMF), peacekeeping operations(PKO), and the International Military Education and Training Program(IMET). In foreign military financing, some of their objectives include to improve the military capabilities of key friendly countries to contribute to international crisis response operations, including peacekeeping and humanitarian crises, to promote bilateral, regional and multilateral coalition efforts, notably in the global war of terrorism and to assist the militaries of friendly countries and allies to procure U.S defense articles and services that strengthen legitimate self-defense capabilities and security needs. FMF is vital to supporting U.S coalition partners in the war on terrorism. It promotes U.S national security by strengthening military support for democratically-elected governments, contributing to regional and global stability, and containing

Anthony J. D 'Angelo. One thing is very clear: these few countries doing their best to help refugees can’t manage the refugee issue on their own. We need global cooperation.
