Australia is the only Western democracy that does not have a national Human Rights Act, but this may be about to change. "It’s more than 40 years since Australia ratified the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)...Incorporating these treaties into a Federal Human Rights Act would bring us into line with all other western democracies who have implemented agreed global norms." >> https://theconversation.com/an-inquiry-has-recommended-australia-legislate-a-human-rights-act-heres-why-we-need-one-229387 #HumanRights #Australia #law #ICESCR #ICCPR #rights #environment #democracy
