The UNHRC hears individual complaints of violations of the ICCPR (called "communications") under the First Optional Protocol to the ICCPR. (35) Australia is a party to the First Optional Protocol.

Commission submission - NAAV
1. The key concept underlying the Commission's submissions is the proposition that the Australian legal system recognises, in various ways, an obligation to provide an effective remedy to persons present in this country whose interests have been adversely affected by a decision of an officer of the Commonwealth, where the decision is otherwise than in accordance with law. In this case, the need for an effective remedy is a need of non-citizens affected by decisions made under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth) ("the Act").
