The imprisonment of children under mandatory detention policy in Australia?s detention camps was one of the worst, if not the worst, human rights violations in the Australia?s post World War II history. This paper examines what has happened and why our human rights protection system in place has failed the children.? It compares the Australian human rights environment to that of other countries, and examines what needs to be done to avoid ongoing breaches.
