, The policy of excluding all non-white people from the Australian
continent, was the unofficial policy of all governments and all
mainstream political parties in Australia from the 1890s to the
1950s, and elements of the policy survived until the 1970s. It is

throughout the period . The term 'mandatory detention is violation
of human rights in Australia states. It' describes the legislation
and actions of the Australia government to detain all human beings
entering the Australia states without a valid visa, including
children. Ngo human rights needs to raise issue of human rights and
advocating human rights courts as per Un human rights Charter 1948,

an inquiry into mandatory detention and found that many basic human
rights outlined in the Convention on the human Rights of the Child
were denied to children living in immigration detention.
The Inquiry on human rights of children has found that Australia
laws that require the mandatory, and effectively
immigration detention of children, and the way these laws are
administered by the Commonwealth, have resulted in numerous and
repeated breaches of the Convention on the human Rights of the
Child.
The Inquiry has observed :
Monitoring of conditions in detention centers require human
rights protection in Australia.
Australia's detention laws and policy require human rights
protection in Australia.
Australia's refugee status determination system as it applies to
children require human rights protection in Australia.
unaccompanied children require human rights protection in
Australia.
religion, culture and languages require human rights
protection in Australia.
temporary protection visas. require human rights protection in
Australia.
These specific findings, based on evidence received by the Inquiry,
were assessed against Australia's human rights obligations under the
Convention on the Rights of the Child. From this, the Inquiry
reached its major findings and recommendations which are under
consideration of Australia Government. .
