A refugee is defined as a person who has been contrived to leave their country to escape war, death or natural disaster. This was the case for 2 refugees, one under the age of 16, who fled their country and arrived on Christmas Island on the 4th of August 2011. They had left Afghanistan in fear of persecution and went to Indonesia, where they then sailed to Australia.
The Australian government failed to provide effective procedures for evaluating refugees need for protection, providing protection for asylum seekers awaiting determination of their refugee status, providing protection for refugees voluntarily returning to their country of origin or their resettlement in another country and as Malaysia is not a signatory to the United Nations
