The paper discusses the need for improved human rights protection at the domestic level. "Australia prides itself on being a 'good international citizen.' But how does Australia fare with regard to human rights from an international perspective? ... It is a party to all major human rights treaties and yet reluctant to make them work at a domestic level. Australia is a party to rights of complaint to United Nations (UN) human rights bodies (Human Rights Committee, Race Discrimination Committee and Committee against Torture)." (Quoted from paper)
