LAWS7714 – Law – 2019
Seminar Four: Immigration Detention and its Socio-legal
Consequences
In this seminar, we will explore the core substantive legal issues around migration
control, specifically immigration detention; including, the international human rights law
norms drawn from the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights that address
protection of liberty and, therefore, the ‘administrative’ detention of asylum seekers and
refugees. We will carefully examine the rationale for immigration detention and gain a
critical understanding of the costs of detaining asylum seekers and refugees. We will
contemplate alternatives to prolonged detention of non-citizens seeking refugee
protection.
