“…Survivors of torture may experience chronic symptoms that continue for many years including hyperarousal, sleep problems, irritability, poor memory and concentration, reexperiencing traumatic events, and social withdrawal (Bowles, 2005). The experience of torture and trauma regrettably does not activate a welcoming response for asylum seekers for, as Edwards and Ferstman (2010) argue, rather than being viewed as people exercising their rights to seek asylum, as enshrined in international law, they are denoted as invaders. This means that as noncitizens they are dealt with by discrimination, xenophobia, and criminalization.…”

The treatment of asylum seekers in the modern nation-state violates human right norms. Exclusion from nation, an emphasis on border protection, and the use of immigration detention facilities are among the approaches aimed at deterring people from seeking safe haven. Many of these practices are antithetical to social work ethics and values, and social work practitioners can use their practice wisdom and advocacy skills to promote alternatives to current policies and practices.

“…Thus a focus on such 'push' factors in the political and media discourse could go some way towards providing government leaders with the courage to initiate policy developments that adhere to international human rights obligations. As noted by Edwards and Ferstman (2010), a focus on security language labels the subjects of the security discourse as threats to security rather than victims of insecurity. Such a securitised approach prevents the broader Australian public from identifying with the plight of asylum seekers.…”

PublicationsThe International Institute for Asian Studies is a research and exchange platform based in Leiden, the Netherlands. Its objective is to encourage the interdisciplinary and comparative study of Asia and to promote (inter)national cooperation. IIAS focuses on the humanities and social sciences and on their interaction with other sciences. It stimulates scholarship on Asia and is instrumental in forging research networks among Asia Scholars. Its main research interest are reflected in the three book series published with Amsterdam University Press: Global Asia, Asian Heritages and Asian Cities.IIAS acts as an international mediator, bringing together various parties in Asia and other parts of the world. The Institute works as a clearinghouse of knowledge and information. This entails activities such as providing information services, the construction and support of international networks and cooperative projects, and the organisation of seminars and conferences. In this way, IIAS functions as a window on Europe for non-European scholars and contributes to the cultural rapprochement between Europe and Asia. IIAS Publications Officer: Paul van der Velde IIAS Assistant Publications Officer: Mary Lynn van Dijk Global AsiaAsia has a long history of transnational linkage with other parts of the world. Yet the contribution of Asian knowledge, values, and practices in the making of the modern world has largely been overlooked until recent years. The rise of Asia is often viewed as a challenge to the existing world order. Such a bifurcated view overlooks the fact that the global order has been shaped by Asian experiences as much as the global formation has shaped Asia. The Global Asia Series takes this understanding as the point of departure. It addresses contemporary issues related to transnational interactions within the Asian region, as well as Asia's projection into the world through the movement of goods, people, ideas, knowledge, ideologies, and so forth. The series aims to publish timely and well-researched books that will have the cumulative effect of developing new perspectives and theories about global Asia.

“…106 Tumlin has analysed the impact of terrorism policy on immigration policy in the US context, and found that immigration powers have been used in terrorism investigations because they offer fewer procedural safeguards than the criminal procedures. Although similar in its nationality discrimination and consequent irrationality and disproportionality, the use of immigration detention for the purpose of preventive detention has pursued crime control aims through immigration law, rather than criminal law.…”

Protecting The Public? Challenging the Indefinite Preventive Detention of Non-Citizens

This paper examines the indefinite preventative detention of non-citizens in the UK, arguing that the reasoning of the House of Lords in A v Secretary of State for the Home Department has not been applied within the crime control context. This paper analyses the jurisprudence in relation to indefinite preventive detention in the (non-terrorism) immigration context, arguing that whilst ideas emerging in anti-terrorism law have influenced immigration law, in a wider context, beyond terrorism, the internal logic of immigration control which justifies its discriminatory coercion with assertion of the sovereign right of the state to exclude aliens, has caused resistance to the reasoning of the majority of the House of Lords in A in regard to the preventive detention of non-citizens. It contends that the UK's reliance on these principles is undermined by the fact that the UK has exercised its sovereignty to expressly limit it through its ratification of the European Convention on Human Rights and other international human rights instruments.
