Submission on the 5-year Review of the ACT Human Rights Act
The ACT Government conducted an inquiry into the operation of the ACT Human Rights Act (the HR Act), and particularly sought input into the debate on protecting economic, social and cultural rights (ESC rights) within the HR Act. The HRLRC made a submission to the inquiry, arguing that all ESC rights in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) should be protected in the HR Act.
