Abstract

This chapter outlines the situation with respect to asylum seekers and refugees in the Asia Pacific region and considers whether implementation of the Australian government's regional cooperation framework proposal would do much to improve refugee protection or burden sharing between states. After answering that question in the negative, the chapter discusses in more general terms the prospects for achieving better refugee protection and more equitable burden sharing in the region through inter-state dialogue and civil society engagement.
