Implementing the recommendations of the Bringing them Home report

The National Apology was a truly momentous occasion. But our task now is to make sure that we don't look back on the apology to the Stolen Generations as merely a symbolic gesture. So please send your elected state and federal representatives an email asking them to implement all the recommendations of the Bringing them home report. ANTaR

 

Reinstate the Racial Discrimination Act - Sign the petition

"The suspension of the Racial Discrimination Act remains a sticking point and an international embarrassment for the Rudd Government. We do not need the upcoming review to tell us that this aspect of the intervention is and always will be morally wrong and ethically unjustifiable" (Senatar Rachel Siewart, who will present the petition in parliament in August).

Symposium

Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and its implementation in Australia

 

20 August, 1:00 - 4:30pm, Monash University Law Chambers, 472 Burke St, Melbourne.

 

Presented by the Castan Centre for Human Rights Law, this symposium will bring together experts from the international and domestic communities to discuss the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which was accepted by a majority of the members of the United Nations General Assembly, in September 2007, with only four countries voting against it, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States. The current Australian Government, in the lead up to the 2007 Federal election, stated that it would endorse Australia becoming a signatory to the Declaration. It thus falls upon the legal and academic community to explore what practical impact Australia’s adoption of the Declaration would have within the community.

 

RSVP to castan.centre@law.monash.edu.au as soon as possible as space is limited
