The rebuttable presumption is an important safeguard to give refugees the opportunity to argue against the seriousness of their offence and the danger they pose to the community. The Convention also provides a safeguard as the principle of non-refoulement under certain rights, such as Articles 2 and 3, provides an absolute bar to removing or returning an individual to face real risks to life or real risks of torture, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
