Kioas' Arguments

The Kioas' principal argument was that the decision maker had failed to afford them procedural fairness in not disclosing and allowing an opportunity to respond to the adverse allegations made in the departmental submission.

They further argued that the delegate had wrongly failed to take into account:

  • the detrimental effect the decision may have on their child; and
  • the provisions of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and the Declaration of the Rights of the Child.

Famous quotes containing the word arguments:

    “‘Tis happy, therefore, that nature breaks the force of all sceptical arguments in time, and keeps them from having any considerable influence on the understanding. Were we to trust entirely to their self-destruction, that can never take place, ‘till they have first subverted all conviction, and have totally destroy’d human reason.”
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
