Submission for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Australia

Today, the ICJ made a submission to the Universal Periodic Review of Australia.

The submission brings to the attention of the members of the Human Rights Council’s Working Group issues concerning:

• The treatment of asylum-seekers and Australia’s attacks against international refugee law;
• The treatment of aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples;
• The weakening and undermining of the Australian Human Rights Commission; and,
• International instruments and mechanisms.
