determined refugee claimants have few legal rights and must rely largely on community and
charity organisations. Therefore, the Australian government is not responding to their needs and consequently, not responding to its international human rights commitment and responsibilities in protecting refugee claimants' basic needs. Meanwhile, the genuine refugee claimant who has escaped fear and oppression continues to live with an uncertain future - without any social security entitlement, some with no permission to work, others working hard at menial jobs, and suffering from being separated from family, familiar language and surrounding. Often these people are haunted by memories of cruelty and intolerance. UQ Boilerhouse Community Engagement Centre Report: The following links lead to similar organisations around the world.
