Australia's Role in Promoting Human Rights in the Pacific

In line with the Australian Government's commitment to reclaim its 'reputation as a leader in the international protection of human rights', particularly in the Asia-Pacific, the Joint Standing Committee of Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade is conducting an inquiry on human rights mechanisms in the Asia-Pacific. The Centre has made a Submission on Australia's Role in Promoting Human Rights in the Pacific which sets out a framework for regional engagement and dialogue around human rights.  The submission focuses on Australia's engagement with Pacific Island countries.
