The document entitled "A Last Resort ? The National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention" was published by the Australian Human Rights Commission (formerly Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission) in 2004. This executive summary is divided into two parts: the major findings and recommendations of the National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention (the Inquiry); the report of the National Inquiry into Children in Immigration Detention (the Report). The document aims to challenge the argument that family unity within immigration detention centres is the only way that children’s ‘best interests’ can be protected in accordance with the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Available in English. PDF, 942 pages. The link to the report entitled "2008 Immigration Detention Report", which mentioned this document, is available below.
