''Teitiota v Chief Executive Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment'' concerned an application by a Kiribati man, Ioane Teitiota, for leave to appeal against a decision of New Zealand's Immigration and Protection Tribunal that declined to grant him refugee and/or protected person status. Teitiota's case became a cause célèbre for environmentalists and human rights activists as it made its way towards the Supreme Court. Teitiota was declined application for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court in July 2015. In September 2015 Teitiota was placed in police custody and deported back to Kiribati. Teitiota's case gained international media attention as being that of the world's first climate change refugee. As Kenneth R. Weiss wrote, "Consequently, over the past year, this 38-year-old migrant farmworker has become an unlikely international celebrity, a stand-in for the thousands of people in Kiribati—as well as millions more worldwide—expected to be forced from their homes due to rising seas and other disruptions on a warming planet. Teitiota is a contender to become the world’s first climate refugee, albeit an accidental one." ==Background== Teitiota and his wife arrived in New Zealand from Kiribati in 2007 and continued to reside in the country illegally after the expiration of their permits.〔''Teitiota v Chief Executive of Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment'' () NZCA 173 at ().〕 The couple have two children who were born in New Zealand but are not entitled to New Zealand citizenship.〔''Teitiota v Chief Executive of Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment'' () NZCA 173 at ().〕 After being arrested, Teitiota applied for refugee or protected person status, which was declined by an immigration official.〔''Teitiota v Chief Executive of Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment'' () NZCA 173 at ().〕 Teitiota appealed the decision of the immigration official to the Immigration and Protection Tribunal, Counsel for Teitiota sought leave to appeal the judgment of the Tribunal on questions of law unsuccessfully in the High Court before seeking the leave of the Court of Appeal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Teitiota v Chief Executive Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
