Australia's off-shore processing policy towards asylum seekers arriving by boat is 20 years old this week. Over that time, the policy has often been credited with "stopping the boats", so much so that other countries over the years have been inspired to try to copy it. But did off-shore processing really stop the boats? Today on The Signal, with a new refugee crisis brewing in Afghanistan, we look at how our off-shore asylum seeker system actually works, and ask why the Government seems to talk about it less and less.

This is a recording of a webinar held on 4 June 2020, co-hosted by the International Law Association (Australia) and the Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law. What is changing in the so-called ‘new normal’, and what does it mean for the legal landscape facing refugees, people seeking asylum and other forced migrants? Find out when two preeminent legal minds discuss the key issues: Scientia Professor Jane McAdam, Director of UNSW’s Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, addresses the differential impact of the pandemic on displaced people and also considers the twin ‘crises’ of COVID-19 and climate change in the context of mobility in the Pacific region. Assistant Secretary-General Gillian Triggs, UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, considers how COVID-19 has undermined the fundamental norms of human rights and refugee law as almost no other crisis has done, even as we reach the 70th anniversary of the Refugee Convention.

In 2018's first Learn@Lunch session, UNSW’s Acting Director of the Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, Professor Guy Goodwin-Gill, explored the factors driving displacement today. He guided us through the legal and economic consequences, both for displaced people and for the countries which receive them. Most importantly, he showed how today’s leaders can cut through the negative to achieve effective action on this global concern. Professor Goodwin-Gill joined UNSW in 2017 from the UK, where he was an Emeritus Professor of International Refugee Law at the University of Oxford. He has played an influential role in shaping European refugee policy, publishing widely in this field as well as serving in leadership and legal advisory roles with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), among many others.

In her new book, Asylum by Boat: Origins of Australia’s Refugee Policy (New South Press, 2017), Claire Higgins, a Senior Research Associate at the Andrew and Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law at the University of New South Wales Law School, explores the origins of Australia’s refugee policy. She investigates the Australian government’s response to the arrival by boat, in the late 1970s, of thousands of Vietnamese refugees. Unlike today, however, while boat turn-backs and detention were considered, these policies were rejected. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
