UN Human Rights Commission makes ruling on Australian border for stranded citizens16/04/2021|6min The United Nations Human Rights Commission has ruled Australia must quickly help two stranded citizens return home after they argued the federal government’s border policy breached human rights laws. The two men, Alex and Jason, said their ability to return home is an absolute right which should not be blocked by government-imposed travel caps. Free and Open Australia campaign spokesperson Deb Tellis told Sky News the ruling was a “great victory” and she was awaiting the government’s response. “When you consider the situation, we’ve got 40,000 Australians still stranded overseas and the number’s not going down,” she said.
