“…Este régimen ha estado anclado en lógicas que concuerdan con el denominado "paradigma disuasorio". La literatura sobre el paradigma disuasorio se ha centrado en analizar las prácticas desarrolladas por los Estados, bien en solitario o en colaboración con otros, para restringir el acceso de los refugiados al sistema de asilo a través de múltiples mecanismos que incluyen, entre otros, el bloqueo del tránsito y el procesamiento deslocalizado, la prevención del acceso al territorio, del acceso al sistema de protección, o la disuasión selectiva del destino (Vedsted-Hansen, 1999;Hathaway & Gammeltoft-Hansen, 2015;Hirsch, 2017;Gammeltoft-Hansen, 2011b;Gammeltoft-Hansen & Tan, 2017;Giuffré & Moreno-Lax, 2017;Fitzgerald, 2019). Los dos primeros mecanismos pueden ser considerados parte de las denominadas "prácticas de no entrada" 7 (Hathaway, 1992) en referencia a los instrumentos políticos de externalización que dificultan la llegada al territorio de los Estados que pueden otorgar protección.…”

A partir de un análisis que subraya las prácticas de contención del acceso de los refugiados desde el denominado paradigma disuasorio, este artículo usa la literatura del etiquetaje para investigar la gestión del refugio en la frontera sur española a lo largo de las últimas tres décadas. Además de detenernos en algunos elementos del marco regulatorio del refugio en España y su evolución, el análisis presentado se basa en 34 entrevistas en profundidad semiestructuradas realizadas entre 2016 y 2019 en Madrid, Cádiz, Ceuta y Melilla a diferentes actores públicos y miembros de organizaciones sociales, nacionales e internacionales, implicados en la gestión del refugio en España. Las conclusiones del análisis indican que el etiquetado de la inmigración africana como una inmigración exclusivamente laboral ha moldeado la gestión política del refugio en la frontera sur española a través de prácticas que han impedido, limitado y disuadido el acceso de potenciales solicitantes de asilo al sistema español de protección internacional. Por ello la gestión del refugio ha quedado ampliamente supeditada al control migratorio.

“…The Migration Amendment (Excision from Migration Zone) (Consequential Provisions) Act, 2001 (Cwlth) awarded increased powers to naval and migration officers to detain ‘offshore entry persons’ and take them to a ‘declared country’ for their claims for refugee status to be processed. This included the power to turn back boats deemed ‘suspected illegal entry vehicles’ (Hirsch, 2017: 66–67).…”

“…Underpinned by its ‘No Advantage’ Policy – a policy aimed at deterring boat arrivals – it adopted a deterrence and ‘disruption’ approach to prevent and intercept those travelling by boat to Australia. The government entered into regional agreements with Malaysia and Indonesia to minimize the movement of refugees by boat to Australia (Hirsch, 2017: 77). This included interdiction at sea and increasing the number of places available for those who went through the ‘proper’ channels.…”

“…Cambodia, Nauru and PNG are positioned in an exchange relationship which is made possible by Australia's capacity to draw on its financial resources (through incentives to refugees and payments to resettlement countries) to outsource its obligations while maintaining its signatory status (Mathew and Harley, 2016: 14). For example, accompanying the off-shoring of responsibility for refugee processing were pledges by the Australian Government to Nauru and PNG of up to AUD 1 billion of foreign aid and up to AUD 29 million in funding for processing and center construction, provided ‘under the guise of regional cooperation and burden sharing’ (Hirsch, 2017: 78–79).…”

Regional deterrence and ‘non-genuine’ refugees: The punitive legacy of the 1989 Comprehensive Plan of Action

The outsourcing of refugee protection obligations is reshaping state relations in the Asia Pacific and Southeast Asian region and has underscored a progressively punitive approach to ‘irregular’ refugee movement. Such a shift can be partially but importantly traced to the deterrent foundations of Australia's dual-track processing system, introduced as an outcome of the 1989 Comprehensive Plan of Action on Indochinese Refugees (CPA). Although the CPA was a multilateral attempt to improve access to refugee protection through a coordinated regional response, in many respects it undermined the potential for refugee protection. By examining the history and motivations of regional responses, we can trace their impact as an exercise in either affirming or disavowing regional responsibility for refugee protection, while enabling some states to retain and even increase their capacity for control in the region. Given the call by the Global Compact on Refugees for coordinated regionally responsive approaches based on humanitarian principles, the crafting of regional and global plans, their motives and their governing logic, require ongoing and careful attention to ascertain the forms of responsibility or irresponsibility for refugee protection which they might sustain over time.

Securitization of Search and Rescue at Sea: The Response to Boat Migration in the Mediterranean and Offshore Australia

This article compares the law and practice of the European Union and Australia in respect to the search and rescue (SAR) of boat migrants, concluding that the response to individuals in peril at sea in both jurisdictions is becoming increasingly securitized. This has led to the humanitarian purpose of SAR being compromised in the name of border security. Part I contrasts the unique challenge posed by SAR operations involving migrants and asylum seekers, as opposed to other people in distress at sea. Part II analyses the relevant international legal regime governing SAR activities and its operation among European States and in offshore Australia. Part III introduces the securitization framework as the explanatory paradigm for shifting State practice and its impact in Europe and Australia. It then examines the consequences of increasing securitization of SAR in both jurisdictions and identifies common trends, including an increase in militarization and criminalization, a lack of transparency and accountability, developments relating to disembarkation and non-refoulement, and challenges relating to cooperation and commodification.
