The primary focus of this report has been on the human rights that all children in Australia should enjoy. The Inquiry has found that: Australia's immigration detention laws, as administered by the Commonwealth, and applied to unauthorised arrival children, create a detention system that is fundamentally inconsistent with the Convention on the Rights of the Child; children in immigration detention for long periods of time are at high risk of serious mental harm; and that at various times between 1999 and 2002, children in immigration detention were not in a position to enjoy rights relating to protection, mental and physical health, education, etc. [p.1-6, ed]
