Right of asylum

One major human rights issue that has been debated for the past decade in Australia, is the protection and treatment of refugees who land on Australian shores. “At the end of 2015, the number of refugees reached 65.3 million, revealing that 1 in every 113 people are displaced from their home.” This constant rise in refugee number highlights the importance for Australia’s government to move towards better solutions for the management of asylum seekers. This essay will consider the political…

of enforcement. 9 Another reason for that tendency is the fact that extradition is often seen by the judiciary as a largely diplomatic and political process.10 That does not mean that extradition happens unobstructed – there are inalienable human rights objections, but it means that a proper threshold must be set for the justification of…

INTRODUCTION I believe we should allow Asylum seekers in to Australia, Asylum seekers are people who are seeking international protection. The United Nations estimates there are 42.5 million people displaced by conflict around the world. They flee their homes in search of asylum and refuge, away from persecution. But why do they flee? they flee because of religious persecution, others because of their race, gender, or ethnicity. Some flee because of their political stances, religious or…

Through a cosmopolitan lens, a state may welcome refugees and asylum seekers to emphasise the unity of the human family, and that an ethical duty is owed, despite nation-state borders. Examples of this can be found in various countries within the European Union, especially, up until recently, Germany and Italy, in…

“Government is best which governs least” according to the article “Civil Disobedience,” by Henry David Thoreau. In this article, Thoreau also mentioned that he believes that government is best when it governs not at all. However when a government governs not at all, then there exist chaos and war.

Being able to use gun for self-defense or protection is a right which can 't be denied to U.S citizens; however guns are not the only weapons available to serve the same purpose.

The statement made by Hasselstrom’s in her paper, is somewhat valid, but comes off as a very one sided opinion if regards to “gender equality” claiming that barring arms makes men and women equal.

have the same rights as us humans? If you think about this, passing a Bill of Rights for animals could go against centuries of human culture, increase the cost of food, hinder medical research, and may cause other problems. I believe that animals should not have a Bill of Rights. My first reason is that such a law would go against human culture because we as people run the world. Can animals even work, cook, clean, or even talk, think about it. Giving animals the same rights as we have…

I am Emnjundi Jacqueline Longton (call me Jackie), and this is my story. I live in the utopia of Colorum, or perhaps it is the dystopia of Colorum. Utopia is certainly what our world appears to be. We all have our jobs, our lifestyles. When we change, we can change our surroundings if we wish. Everyone is happy, except for those who are misfits. Those who don’t get along with our law. No one knows what happens to them, just that they get removed. To where? No one knows. To people in Hyacinthum,…

Song of Myself “Song of Myself”, which is famous for “representing the core of Whitmans poetic vision” (Greenspan) was written in 1881 by Walt Whitman. This poem is baffling to many people because of both the symbolism and wordplay. Walt Whitman begins by introducing the subject in the poem, which is himself and he goes on by celebrating this theme. Whitman utilizes words such “I”, “myself” and his inner soul to generate a feel of being and depiction in specific sects of the poem. Whilst it…
