Asylum and Law for International Refugee. Some criteria have been determined for individual to have refugee status, and the country which grant the asylum would give the status based on social and humanity considerations. Therefore, the issue of granting asylum and refugee status can be seen not only political perspectives but also from juridical perspectives since it has been governed by international law, specifically the law of International Refugee. This article would focus on some cases on how asylum seekers got their refugee status, especially on the case of some Papuans who have obtained their refugee status and temporary visa from the Australian government in 2006.

“My patient refuses thickened liquids, should I discharge them from my caseload?” A version of this question appears at least weekly on the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association's Community pages. People talk of respecting the patient's right to be non-compliant with speech-language pathology recommendations. We challenge use of the word “respect” and calling a patient “non-compliant” in the same sentence: does use of the latter term preclude the former?
In this article we will share our reflections on why we are interested in these so called “ethical challenges” from a personal case level to what our professional duty requires of us. Our proposal is that the problems that we encounter are less to do with ethical or moral puzzles and usually due to inadequate communication. We will outline resources that clinicians may use to support their work from what seems to be a straightforward case to those that are mired in complexity. And we will tackle fears and facts regarding litigation and the law.
