Closing borders. The ripple effects of Australian and European refugee policy
Key messages
•
Rich countries are violating international
norms on refugee protection and asylum, both in spirit
and in practice, causing an erosion of refugee protection worldwide that risks overturning
the
international
refugee regime.
•
Restrictive refugee policies in contexts such as Australia and Europe are creating ‘ripple effects’,
fostering negative developments
in lower-income
countries such as Indonesia, Kenya and Jordan.
•
It is not too late to reverse this dangerous trajectory. Higher-income
countries should rethink
strategies aimed at deterring refugees at their borders, and instead promote positive emulation of
good practice.
