Taking Stock of Australia's Human Rights Record: Submission by the Australian Human Rights Commission Under the Universal Periodic Review Process - 2010

---

Australia will shortly participate in the Universal Periodic Review at the United Nations Human Rights Council.

This significant new process involves a review of the human rights record of each member of the UN on a periodic basis (at present, every four years). Australia makes its first appearance in January 2011.

The UPR provides two major opportunities for Australia: It allows the Australian community and Government to take stock of how well we are protecting the human rights of all people in Australia; and It permits the Australian Government to inform the international community of the human rights situation in Australia and to
engage with other countries about specified steps it will take to improve the enjoyment of human rights in Australia.
National Human Rights Institutions, such as the Commission, are encouraged to engage in the process to provide an independent assessment of the progress of the country under review.
