Detention – by states and non-state armed groups (NSAGs) – is a reality in armed conflict. In 2021, the ICRC estimated that around 100 armed groups were holding detainees. Detention puts people in a vulnerable situation: their lives and dignity depend on the detaining authority. Experience shows that detention by NSAGs often presents legal and practical challenges, ranging from a lack of knowledge of international rules and standards on detainee protection, in particular those found in international humanitarian law (IHL) , to practical challenges such as how to ensure humane conditions of detention in the dire realities of armed conflict, or how to provide essential judicial guarantees for persons facing criminal charges.

Rejigging the flawed Stage 3 tax cuts would save up to $130 billion over a decade while delivering a bigger slice of the pie to 80% of taxpayers, new Australia Institute research shows. Better Stage 3: Fairer tax cuts for more Australians sets out a clear pathway for the government to deliver Stage 3 tax cuts in a more equitable and economically responsible way, even if it refuses to scrap the policy altogether. The report examines four alternatives, each of which would be between $70 billion and $130 billion cheaper over ten years than Stage 3 as it stands today.
