UNHCR Representation in Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific
This submission outlines UNHCR's recommendations with respect to amendments that propose to increase the permissible period of detention without warrant for asylum-seekers arriving as part of a mass arrival group.
UNHCR also made a submission in 2012 with respect to the proposed introduction of the mass arrivals statutory framework, in which it made numerous recommendations. Read the 2012 submission on UNHCR’s website.
