Abstract
This paper examines the need for innovative approaches in balancing refugee integration and security concerns in Australia, Canada, Norway, the Netherlands, and the UK. The research investigates post-exclusion experiences and the human rights implications for asylum seekers excluded from refugee protection, supposedly due to serious criminality. Through a multi-method qualitative approach, including comparative legal analysis, case studies, and interviews, the study reveals that current securitisation policies often lead to indefinite detention, legal limbo, and social marginalisation for excluded individuals. The findings highlight the urgent need for innovative policy and legal reforms that balance national security with human rights obligations. The paper concludes by proposing innovative, inclusive policies that align with liberal values of justice and human dignity, addressing security concerns and humanitarian responsibilities in refugee management.
