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

---

The document Taking Stock of Australia's Human Rights Record (2010) is a formal submission by the Australian Human Rights Commission to the United Nations Human Rights Council as part of Australia’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR). It provides a comprehensive overview of Australia’s human rights situation up to that year, highlighting both achievements and areas needing improvement. The report discusses key issues such as the rights of Indigenous peoples, refugees and asylum seekers, anti-discrimination measures, gender equality, and the protection of children. It also critiques gaps in Australia’s human rights framework—particularly the absence of a national Human Rights Act—and emphasizes the need for stronger implementation of international human rights obligations. The submission serves as both an assessment and a set of recommendations for advancing human rights protections in Australia.
