At the request of Senators Moore, Williams and Cameron, I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes the concerns about the security of the residents of Camp Hurriya in Iraq which was subject to a mortar attack on 15 June 2013;

(b) recognises that individual refugee status assessments are underway in Camp Hurriya, with more than half the determinations completed to date; and

(c) urges the international community to continue to work with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the Government of Iraq on finding a durable solution for camp residents, including resettlement in third countries.

Question agreed to.
