Live Broadcast from the UN Declaration for the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Dialogue
Guests;
Mick Gooda – Human Rights Commisioner
Michael Currie – Child Protection Peak (QATSICPP)
Jody Currie – Institute for Urban Indigenous Health
A national conversation progressed through a series of dialogues is proposed to ensure the principles and rights outlined in the Declaration are fully integrated into the Australian Indigenous policy landscape.
The purpose of these proposed Dialogues will be to:
- raise awareness of the Declaration with all stakeholders, particularly the Aboriginal and Torres Strait community, including how it was developed and adopted, the rights it contains, and how it can be used
- reach a consensus on the need to implement the Declaration
- develop an agreed approach to give full effect to the Declaration between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, governments and other relevant stakeholders
- facilitate discussion between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, governments and other relevant stakeholders regarding the ‘principles’ underpinning the Declaration and what they mean in a practical context
- develop a National Strategy on the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples – adopted at a National Summit.
