Feng Chongyi, a chinese born professor at Australian University. One weekend Mr. Feng was barred from leaving China, and questioned by security officers as a possible threat to national security. Raising concerns about the Chinese legal system once again. Some Chinese people in Australia said that if China can do that to Mr. Feng, who has a family in Australia, could all the other chinese dissidents be a subject to extradition demands on national security changes that Australia would be unable to verify.

Today people are still talking a lot about the extradition treaty they are trying to get it back for a vote, as China wishes for a swift approval by the Australian government.The Extradition treaty is a very sensitive issue, involving humans in custody. Sense Australia is so concerned about China's political system, these two country will never get that close.

    This report examines the seriousness of the issue on refugees and asylum seekers that Australia is facing, and also shows that there is a need of change in Australia's policy on this matter. Although in recent times, there have been a several changes made. However, with a country that has such strict immigration law and policy for refugees like Australia, this report reveals the contradictions between Australian's legal system with the UN policy of human rights; and research also shows that the attempt made has not been enough on gaining remarkable progress.

    In the criminal justice system, compliance occurs when members of society are encouraged to abide by laws. In this system, elements such as Youth Justice Conferences, the International Criminal Court and Mandatory Minimum Sentencing are relatively ineffective in encouraging compliance within the domestic and international community. In order to encourage compliance, laws should be enforceable and reflect the moral standards of society. The International Criminal Court (ICC), established under the Rome Statute 1998, is a permanent court that intends to prosecute individuals accused of serious crimes.…

    1. Of all the complaints that the Europeans had about the Chinese, which do you think was the most serious? Why? Soon, criticisms that the Chinese were muddying water needed to wash gold turned to a real worry that so much Chinese were coming as to not leave any gold for the Europeans. This is quite serious because then this gives the European miners a ‘chance’ to press taxes or an excuse to drive them off. This can also develop into accusations against the Chinese miners which they would have to face unjust consequences.…

    Climate change has been a long-term global issue that requires collective global action in the form of flexible yet stable policy implementation by the global actors. As a global actor, Australia’s approach and commitments to action on climate change, has been considered as inconsistent and lacking in direction (Talberg, Hui & Loynes, 2013). Nevertheless Australia’s climate reputation has not always been a negative one, in the early 1990’s Australia’s reputation was even seen as pro-environmental when the labor government “appointed an Ambassador for the environment, sent experts to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), passed the Ozone Protection Act 1989 and committed Australia to stabilise greenhouse gas emissions at 1988…

    China’s power was especially weakened after the Opium Wars with Great Britain, the aftermath of which resulted in British control of Hong Kong and several unfair treaties. China, in its weakened state, soon became known as the “sick man of Asia” and several Eurasian countries, including France, Germany, Russia, and Japan, took advantage of this opportunity to increase their own power. These countries soon established settlements and spheres of influence within China, allowing them to possess certain rights and privileges within their region. It wasn’t long before China’s Imperial Court had lost the majority of its power to foreign influence. This newfound power allowed foreign countries to essentially control all Chinese trade; a reality that made foreigners wealthy, but deeply worried…

    Most countries have extradition laws. Most countries also have extradition treaties such as Mexico and the United States, as shown above. If two countries have an extradition treaty, they have an agreement to extradite each others wanted fugitives based upon the terms of the treaty; “considered simply as a contract between two independent Governments” (Spears 95). Even when a treaty is not present, extradition will usually be granted if it meets certain conditions regarding how the extradition request is made and who makes the request. The primary consideration is dual criminality, “has become an unwanted barrier to extradition to both requesting and requested States” (Hafen, Article).…

    China: Human Rights and Status of Oppressed Groups Premise: The evidence will support that the world-wide movement to protect the rights of oppressed groups has not reached nor affected China; indeed, there is strong resistance to correcting human rights abuses. In the summer of 1989, Chinese students protested in Tiananmen Square, Beijing, facing off against government troops and tanks. From this event came an iconic image, of a man holding his shopping bags, facing off against a line of dozens of tanks and barring the way to the square and the protestors (Phelan). A lone man stood fearlessly in front of a tank, determined to stop their progress, and for a moment, the tanks stood still.…

    Introduction On July 17, 1998 South Africa signed and proceeded to ratify, the Rome Statute of the International Court (Plessis, 2007). South Africa was one of the earliest supporters for setting up the court that would be known to try extreme cases of human rights violations. The International Criminal Court (ICC) was in fact created to take care of any atrocities and punishing them within the international borders, ones that cannot be dealt with within their own territories. The ICC stands as a last resort to any criminal events still standing, within the realm of where its jurisdiction lies (Plessis, 2007).…
