Syria's horrifying statistics - BBC News. Untitled. The Syrian community in Australia | .id blog. At .id, we welcome the news that Australia will be taking 12,000 Syrian refugees this year, in addition to our regular intake of refugees of around 13-14,000. This is an excellent response to the crisis, providing a home for thousands of people who have abandoned their homes due to persecution and war, and will add to the strength of our diverse, multicultural community, and economy.
But it got me thinking – Syria is not one of the countries that springs to mind when you think of Australia’s immigration history. How many are here already and where do they live? The 2011 Census showed 8,713 people born in Syria living in Australia. This is quite a small community compared to some of the larger groups, for instance we have over 76,000 from neighbouring Lebanon and 33,000 from neighbouring Turkey. And compared to Greece (100,000), Italy (185,000) and China (319,000) it is very small. This number increased about 30% from 2006, when 6,956 were recorded. Illegal Immigration & People Smugglers - Policy | Pauline Hanson's One Nation. Illegal Immigration & People Smugglers Illegal migrants whether they arrive by boat or air have not adhered to our immigration criteria and are choosing where they want to live, by gaining entry illegally and claiming refugee status. What we have here is someone coming into your home telling you they like your house better than theirs and they are going to live with you.
You have to feed, cloth, care, and educate them while looking after their needs. Your children now have to share a room and you have to make the dollars stretch further to provide for them. They don’t have to work you are providing for them. A clear message from Australians was 'stop the boats', when we were being swamped by illegals coming to Australia. What a backflip and do they think Australians are that gullible? One Nation is of the opinion that any leader who cannot control its borders should not hold the position as Prime Minister. 3.

We are living in a world that is increasingly divided.
Some regions enjoy sustained levels of peace, security and prosperity while others fall into seemingly endless cycles of conflict and violence. This is by no means inevitable and must be addressed. High levels of armed violence and insecurity have a destructive impact on a country’s development, affecting economic growth and often resulting in long standing grievances among communities that can last for generations. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aim to significantly reduce all forms of violence, and work with governments and communities to find lasting solutions to conflict and insecurity.

UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 16 - importance of participatory institutions & policymaking - FDSD. The UN adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals at the United Nations Sustainable Development Summit in New York in September 2015. FDSD Trustee Janos Zlinsky was active in the development of these Goals as part of a UN Open Working Group (OWG) formed in 2013, whose discussions and proposals formed the basis of the agreed Sustainable Development Goal Agenda.
These Goals will replace the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) from the beginning of 2016. Whilst they continue the focus on eradicating poverty, they also include universal goals of addressing unsustainable patterns of consumption and production, and protecting environmental resources. The Goals, particularly through SDG 16, tackle another omission of the MDGs, that of governance, inclusion, participation, rights and security.
The Goal’s aim is to “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels”. RiskAdvisory – Risk Advisory collaborates with Aon on 2015 Terrorism & Political Violence Map. Nine Western economies rated at increased risk May 2015 – Risk levels are rising in Western economies due to the increased terror threat presented by Islamic extremists according to the Aon Terrorism and Political Risk Map. Launched today by Aon Risk Solutions, the global risk management business of Aon plc (NYSE: AON), in partnership with The Risk Advisory Group, the map provides insight for business aiming to reduce risk exposures.
Nine developed economies (Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Ireland and Norway) are all rated at increased risk. Many of these rises are largely due to increased terrorism threats, most of which stem from the rising influence of Islamic State (IS) as well as the ongoing threat from Al-Qaeda affiliates and supporters. The map shows a mixed picture, with a net reduction on country risk ratings worldwide, but with political violence and terrorism risks concentrating and intensifying around a smaller number of countries. About the map. How can we implement Sustainable Development Goal 16 on institutions? | Brookings Institution. Sustainable Development Goal 16 commits the global community to work together to “Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels.” Ambitious and visionary, like all the SDGs, Goal 16 has the potential to either catalyze profound social transformation, or to remain merely empty rhetoric—illusory words on paper without substance or relevance to the lives we lead.
Transformative or illusory? What can make the difference? And why does it matter? Measurement Much of the discussion about Goal 16 is currently focused on measurement. Measurement is indeed a significant issue (for all the SDGs, not just this one) and will require some deep thinking to get right. Implementing principles Get daily updates from Brookings Measurement is tough, but the real challenges for Goal 16 appear when we start talking about implementation. The imperative of Goal 16 is universal. Quick facts: What you need to know about the Syria crisis. Editor's note: This article was originally published August 13, 2013; it was updated March 9, 2017 to reflect the latest information. Donate ▸ Syria’s civil war has created the worst humanitarian crisis of our time.
Half the country’s pre-war population — more than 11 million people — have been killed or forced to flee their homes. Families are struggling to survive inside Syria, or make a new home in neighboring countries. Others are risking their lives on the way to Europe, hoping to find acceptance and opportunity. But one fact is simple: millions of Syrians need our help. You can help. Sign a petition: Tell Congress to support aid for refugees ▸ So take a few minutes to understand the magnitude of this crisis. When did the crisis start? By July, army defectors had loosely organized the Free Syrian Army and many civilian Syrians took up arms to join the opposition. What is happening to Syrians caught in the war?
The U.N. estimates that 6.3 million people are internally displaced. IDMC » Syria. PEACE AND JUSTICE IN THE MIDDLE EAST.: Deakin University Library Search. Loading... Browse Resources toolbar Document Viewing Options: Tools. Syria | United For Peace and Justice. UFPJ staunchly opposes US military intervention in Syria and maintains that only robust and truly inclusive, international negotiations will end the strife and violence the Syrian people are facing. We supported a resolution introduced by Representatives Jim McGovern, Barbara Lee and Walter Jones, that was designed to force a Congressional decision on war against ISIS, and most importantly would have brought all US troops home in the absence of a decision. Unfortunately, this effort failed. In light of recent ISIS attacks on Beirut, Paris, and elsewhere, the US, and other nations’ escalation of airstrikes, as well as continued arming and training of militants on the ground, UFPJ will be making Syria a central focus of our organizing.
United for Peace and Justice shares with people around the world a deep sorrow over the recent attacks in Paris, along with the civilian deaths on the downed Russian airplane and in Beirut. Once again the Washington is leading a rush into war. Measuring SDG 16: What role for African regional frameworks? Recent discussions around the post-2015 development agenda have highlighted that many of the 169 targets require better clarification.
In some cases, the connection between the targets and the goals need to be better articulated. The United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) is well aware of this problem and last month provided delegates with its roadmap for measuring the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) along with its ratings of the feasibility and suitability of each indicator. Difficult, however, does not mean impossible. As with any goal, national or international, the trick is in finding the appropriate measurement instrument as well as prioritising and sequencing the targets.

The Challenge of Education. 2014 15 Budget. Fewer than 30 refugees resettled since November as part of 12,000 agreed in Syria, Iraq deal. Updated Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has confirmed that fewer than 30 refugees have been resettled in Australia as part of the Government's 12,000 intake from Iraq and Syria. Key points: Peter Dutton says 29 refugees have been resettled as part of 12,000 intake from Syria, IraqResettlement process "well underway", 9,000 people going through health, security and character checks29 children remain in immigration detention The one-off intake was announced last year by former prime minister Tony Abbott, with the first refugees — a Syrian family of five — arriving in Perth in November.
Mr Dutton today said a total of 29 refugees had been resettled as part of that intake, a number which has been criticised by advocates. He could not provide a timeline for resettlement when asked, but told reporters at Parliament House that the process was well underway. "About 9,000 people have been interviewed and assessed and are being processed through health, security and character checks," he said. Act for Peace - What we do. Syria - Corruption and Government Transparency. The law provides criminal penalties for official corruption; however, the government did not implement the law effectively. There are no laws providing for public access to government information, and the government granted no access in practice. There were reports of government corruption during 2010, and the World Bank's Worldwide Governance Indicators reflected that corruption was a problem.
Notwithstanding the investigation and dismissal of scores of mid- and low-level officials for corruption during the second half of 2010, many other officials continued to engage in corrupt practices with impunity. Industry experts reported that 60 percent of all business transitions are conducted in cash and that nearly 80 percent of all Syrians did not use formal banking services. Syria is well known for its corrupt business environment, which denies the Syrian people economic prosperity and other freedoms. The corruption which starts at the top filters down through all levels of business. The Sustainable Development Goals Explained: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
