11/21/2018 据路透社，当地时间11月21日，澳大利亚总理斯科特·莫里森表示，澳大利亚不会签署联合国《全球移民协议》，因为它会损害澳大利亚的移民政策并危及国家安全。 莫里森在接受电视采访时说：“《全球移民协议》将损害澳大利亚的利益，它无法区分那些非法进入澳大利亚的人和通过正确方式入境的人。” 长期以来，澳大利亚的难民营受到联合国和人权组织的广泛批评。根据该国强硬的移民政策，乘船抵达该国的难民永远不会被允许在澳大利亚定居。他们通常被关押在南太平洋岛屿上两个偏远的拘留中心，直到被另一个国家接受或同意重返家园才会被释放。 《全球移民协议》是联合国一项旨在改善移民和难民处境的协议。今年7月，联合国192个成员国在历经18个月的谈判后达成这一共同文件，该文件目前没有法律约束力，尚须于今年12月在摩洛哥召开的部长会议上正式签署。截至目前，美国、匈牙利、奥地利和以色列都宣布退出该协议。   11/21/2018 SYDNEY (Reuters) - Australia will not sign up to a United Nations migration agreement because it would compromise its hardline immigration policy and endanger national security, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said on Wednesday. Australia joins the United States, Israel and several Eastern European countries in rejecting the U.N. Global Compact for Migration, which asks signatories not to detain would-be migrants arbitrarily and to use detention only as a last resort. Morrison said that would jeopardize national security. “The global compact on migration would compromise Australia’s interest,” Morrison told 2GB Radio. “It doesn’t distinguish between those who illegally enter Australia and those who come the right way.” Under Canberra’s tough immigration policy, which has bipartisan support, asylum seekers arriving by boat are told they will never be allowed to settle in Australia. They are then detained in two detention centers on remote South Pacific islands until they are accepted by another nation or agree to return home. The camps have been widely criticized by the United Nations and human rights groups. “Australia is a textbook case of how not to treat boat arrivals, by sending them offshore to endure abysmal conditions for years and trying to shirk its international responsibilities onto less-developed countries,” said Elaine Pearson, Human Rights Watch’s Australia director. Australia’s rejection of the U.N. pact is the latest move to tighten migration through a series of policies that are likely to form a central element of Morrison’s bid for re-election at a national ballot that must be held by May 2019. Opinion polls indicate his conservative government is on course for a landslide defeat. Australia has an annual immigration cap of 190,000 places. Morrison said this week his government would likely reduce that threshold, a policy that is popular with voters. A Fairfax-Ipsos poll published on Monday found 45 percent of voters wanted immigration reduced, while a little more than 20 percent wanted an increase. Morrison’s government said in October it would restrict new immigrants from living in Australia’s largest cities - Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane - for up to five years. Although likely to win favor with voters, critics argued such a policy could lead to labor shortages. Australia’s central bank governor said in August an influx of new residents had helped to underpin strong economic growth. |    Principal,  Tel: (301)906-6889; (240)912-6290 Licensed in MD, VA, DC, PA WeChat ID: sunnychenyuqing NMLS # 1220187 President, Principal Loan Consultant, Leader Funding, Inc.  电话: (240) 784-6645 Rockville, MD Phone: 301-366-3497 |
