Abstract: Abstract On 22 January 1954, Australia became one of the first countries to ratify the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (the Geneva Convention) — an agreement which commits Australia to providing asylum to those on its territory or people arriving at its borders, with a well-founded fear of persecution on the grounds of race, religion, nationality membership of a particular social group or political opinion.
