Should Aussies stranded overseas go to the United Nations for help to get home?
More than a year since COVID-19 emerged, there are nearly 40,000 Australians overseas who want to come home.
Amid mounting stories of people desperate to return for financial, family and personal reasons, Australians are stuck because of government caps on international arrivals, transit-country restrictions and expensive and cancelled flights.
Prominent human rights barrister Geoffrey Robertson has suggested Australians stranded overseas could make a successful complaint to the United Nations Human Rights Committee.
In his view, Australia’s caps on the number of returning travellers are a clear violation of international law.
