May i suggest Australia is commiting crimes aganst humanity in suggesting we can pass off refugees seeking asylum to another nation... according to Amnesty international the conditions in Malaysia are criminal; i draw you attention to:
The 'Innocence of refugees unlawfully entering the country of refuge A refugee has the right to be free from penalties pertaining to the illegality of their entry to or presence within a country, if it can be shown that they acted in good faith- that is, if the refugee believes that there was ample cause for their illegal entry/presence, i.e. to escape threats upon their life or freedom, and if they swiftly declare their presence. This right is protected in Article 31:
"The Contracting States shall not impose penalties, on account of their illegal entry or presence, on refugees who, coming directly from a territory where their life or freedom was threatened in the sense of article 1, enter or are present in their territory without authorization, provided they present themselves without delay to the authorities and show good cause for their illegal entry or presence. (Article 31, (1) )
