Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif-deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menyarankan bahwa sebagai negara yang telah meratifikasi dan menjadi negara pihak dalam Konvensi PBB Tahun 1951 tentang Pengungsi dan Protokolnya Tahun 1967, serta ICCPR, maka seharusnya pelaksanaan Operation Sovereign Borders yang dijalankan oleh Pemerintah Australia tetap tunduk pada kewajiban-kewajiban internasional terkait pencari suaka dan pengungsi yang datang ke negaranya dan tidak melanggar hak-hak mereka.
