Draft Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees: Australia: Proposal for a New Article

Add new article to interpretative articles.

“The present Convention shall not apply to a person who has been admitted to the territory of a Contracting State for a specific purpose and who did not at the time of entry apply for permission to reside permanently therein, unless such person can establish to the satisfaction of the contracting State that since the date of his admission circumstances have arisen which justify his claiming the rights and privileges intended to be secured by this convention for a bona fide refugee.”
