The Impact on the Human Rights of Asylum-Seekers and Host Communities of Australia's Border Control Cooperation with Indonesia and PNG

澳大利亚认为，与印度尼西亚和巴布亚新几内亚的边境管制合作对于防止非正常进入其领土至关重要。然而，人们对合作对寻求庇护者或他们在印度尼西亚和巴布亚新几内亚的收容社区的影响知之甚少。该项目对国家有利，因为它通过调查澳大利亚是否能够更有效地保障寻求庇护者和其他受其区域边境管制合作影响的人的人权来增进知识。这项研究的结果将提高政策制定者处理非正常移民和寻求庇护者混合流动的能力，使其与人权保持一致，从而增强澳大利亚在其区域发挥积极领导作用的能力。

Australia regards border control cooperation with Indonesia and PNG as vital for preventing irregular entry into its own territory. Little is known, however, about the implications of cooperation for asylum-seekers or their host communities in Indonesia and PNG. This project is of national benefit because it advances knowledge by investigating whether Australia can more effectively safeguard the human rights of asylum-seekers and others affected by its regional border control cooperation. The results of this study will enhance the capacity of policy makers to deal with mixed flows of irregular migrants and asylum-seekers consistently with human rights and thus Australia's ability to play a positive leadership role in its region.
