Task 5 Outline the importance of the treaty and/or agreement to Australia. Why are these treaties/agreements important to Australia?

The willing parties which are the Australian and German Government assume the obligation among themselves and the party that fails to uphold their obligation can be held liable under international law. An agreement ensures a bond between countries and allows for both Australia and Germany to exist in harmony. The agreement allows for Australia and Germany to cooperate in the migration field in order to meet the needs of both countries. Agreements serve the purpose as a bond between two or more countries. Australia and Germany created the agreement to establish an assisted migration scheme between the then Federal Republic of Germany and Australia. The scheme allows for Germany and Australia to form a bilateral migration link, which in turn will assist migrants emigrating from Germany to Australia as Australia arranges transport, free of cost to the migrants and other free services. The bond between Germany and Australia will thus allow for the ease in cooperation in future schemes, projects, etc. Therefore the agreement is important as it contributes to the establishment of links and bonds between other countries. The agreement between Australia and the then Federal Republic of Germany benefits both Australia and Germany in that both countries assist in the process of migration.
