That is why UNHCR - the guardian of the Refugee Convention - calls it a #RefugeeBanBill & says it is clearly incompatible with international law.

For good measure, it's also incompatible with Conventions on:
- Trafficking
- Statelessness
- Against Torture
- Rights of the Child

It's come to my attention again that few people have any idea what the government's "stop the boats" illegal migration bill does, so:
