Submission to the Attorney General’s Department on the Background Paper on ‘A New National Human Rights Action Plan for Australia’

In December 2010, the Attorney-General’s Department released a Background Paper outlining the strategy for the development of ‘A new National Human Rights Action Plan for Australia’. WWDA was invited to provide comment on the Background Paper, and subsequently developed a written Submission which was forwarded to the Attorney-General’s Department in February 2011. WWDA’s Submission strongly endorsed the Government’s commitment to develop a national human rights action plan.WWDA’s Submission to the Background Paper contains a number of recommendations, several which focus on the process (as outlined in the Background Paper) of developing the National Human Rights Action Plan (NHRAP).
