These countries universally struggle to maintain a balance between controlling national borders and offering protection to millions of displaced people. When the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was established in 1951, there were approximately 1.5 million refugees internationally.1 At the end of 2009 there were an estimated 43.3 million forcibly displaced people worldwide, including 15.2 million refugees, 983 000 asylum seekers and 27.1 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). It is estimated that there were an additional 25 million people displaced due to natural disasters.2 The Australian Government has recognised the magnitude of these global trends noting that the numbers of people seeking asylum in Australia are small compared to those seeking asylum in Europe and other parts of the world.3    Australia has a long history of accepting refugees for resettlement and over 700 000 refugees and displaced persons, including thousands during and immediately after World War II, have settled in Australia since 1945.4 However, despite this long‐term commitment, there is a great deal of confusion and misinformation in the public debate in Australia particularly around the terms asylum seekers, refugees, ‘illeg https://padlet.com/aschepis/3wo4t173yzp6/wish/117954680 daniel fares ]]> 2016-08-11 01:48:41 UTC https://padlet.com/aschepis/3wo4t173yzp6/wish/117954680 https://padlet.com/aschepis/3wo4t173yzp6/wish/117954714 Asylum Seekers get turned back to there ships because of disease that we don't know about here in the AUS. ]]> 2016-08-11 01:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/aschepis/3wo4t173yzp6/wish/117954714 Austin https://padlet.com/aschepis/3wo4t173yzp6/wish/117954743 At the end of 2013, there were 16.7 million refugees worldwide, with the highest number in Pakistan (1.6 million).
