What is self-determination? Self-determination is an ongoing process of ensuring that peoples are able to make decisions about matters that affect their lives. Essential to the exercise of self-determination is choice, participation and control. It is the right of peoples to freely determine their political status and economic, social and cultural development. The outcomes of self-determining processes must correspond to the free and voluntary choice of the people concerned. The right to self-determination is enshrined in international law under Article 1 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as well as the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights.[i] While many traditional human rights are concerned with individual members of a society, self-determination is a collective right exercised by ‘peoples’.[ii] Articles 3 and 4 of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) confirms that Indigenous peoples have t...

27 August 2009 CANBERRA/GENEVA - The Government of Australia is to be commended for taking significant steps to improve the human rights and socio-economic conditions of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of Australia, as well as for its recent expression of support for United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and for its apology to the victims of the Stolen Generation. After several days in Australia listening and learning, however, I have observed a need to develop new initiatives and reform existing ones—in consultation and in real partnership with indigenous peoples—to conform with international standards requiring genuine respect for cultural integrity and self-determination. Over the past 11 days, I have met with Government authorities, representatives of indigenous communities and organisations, and others, in Canberra, South Australia, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and New South Wales. I have visited a number of indi...

After the Apology looks at what has happened in the years since the 2008 speech which stopped the nation by the then Australian Prime Minister, Kevin Rudd. It shocks many people to learn that the number of Aboriginal children being removed today by welfare agencies is much higher than during the time of the Stolen Generations. After the Apology is a landmark documentary exploring the continued practice of child removal and the community response as it follows the steps being taken by the community through grass-roots advocates like Grandmothers Against Removal (GMAR) to make a change. The documentary tells the story of the incredible advocates working across Australia in the area of child removal, as it gives a voice to 4 grandmothers who sparked a national movement to reunite Aboriginal families in the hope of reuniting with their grand-babies: Sue Ellen thought the Department of Community Services (DOCS) would only remove children in extreme cases, until her own grandchildren were...
