Happy 4th everyone! As we celebrate America’s birthday, let’s reflect on the virtues of living in a democracy: Freedom: Democracy frees us to express our thoughts, beliefs, and aspirations without fear, allowing us to pursue our dreams and create positive change. Equality: In a democracy, all voices matter. Regardless of background, race, or creed, everyone has an equal say. Cherish this inclusivity and work together for a more just society. Unity: Democracy unites us. We share commitment to a better future that binds us as Americans. Let's celebrate our diversity while standing united for common goals.

Today is supposed to be the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. These principles are supposed to be “Universal and inalienable, Interdependent and indivisible, Equal and non-discriminatory, and Both Rights and Obligations”. The theme for 2023 is supposed to be “Freedom, Equality and Justice for all”. Today more than ever, I believe we have failed as a society to uphold these principles and to put humanity first.

On March 21, we celebrate Human Rights Day to honor those who fought for our freedom and the rights we enjoy today. Our Constitution is hailed as one of the most progressive in the world. The Constitution is the ultimate protector of our Human Rights, which were previously denied to the majority of our people under Apartheid. We commemorate Human Rights Day to reinforce our commitment to the Bill of Rights as enshrined in our Constitution. These rights include: Equality – everyone is equal before the law and has the right to equal protection and benefit of the law. Human dignity – everyone has inherent dignity and have their dignity respected and protected. Freedom of movement and residence – everyone has a right to freedom of movement and to reside anywhere in the country. Language and culture – everyone has the right to use the language and to participate in the cultural life of their choice. Life - everyone has the right to life.

Celebrating Freedom and Resilience on Juneteenth 🖤 We believe in the power of unity and the importance of remembering our shared history. Let's come together to celebrate freedom, equality, and the ongoing journey towards justice for all. \#juneteenth \#smallbusinessbigheart \#kindnessrocks \#companyteambuilding \#communitybuilding \#June2024

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. And today as we commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights we recognise that these rights are inherent to everyone, everywhere. Rights that are non-negotiable, universal, indivisible, and inalienable. Let us unite in our shared humanity to honour diversity, and seek justice, freedom, equality and dignity for all. #UDHR75 #HumanRightsDay2023 #HumanRights #EqualityForAll #DignityMatters #EmpowerEquality #WorldVision #WorldVisionAustralia

Seventy-five years ago, the United Nations General Assembly made history by adopting the Universal Declaration on Human Rights, a monumental milestone for human rights worldwide. As we approach October 1, we celebrate the International Day of Older Persons. The 2023 theme, "Fulfilling the Promises of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights for Older Persons: Across Generations," underscores the importance of fostering equality and reciprocity between generations. It's a call to action to honor the promises of the Sustainable Development Goals. Let's unite in our commitment to create a world where every generation thrives together, upholding the principles of dignity, respect, and equality for all.

Dec 10 is the International Declaration of Human Rights. 2023 Theme: Freedom, Equality and Justice for All On December 10, we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, a milestone document, which proclaimed that every human being is entitled to certain inalienable rights. Whenever and wherever humanity's values are abandoned, we all are at greater risk. The solutions to today’s greatest crises are rooted in human rights.

Australia endorsed the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in 2009. Then not much happened at a Federal level. Then the UNDRIP Bill 2022 created a standalone Act that required the Prime Minister to produce and roll out “an action plan to achieve the objectives” of UNDRIP in local law, developed in consultation with First Nations peoples and the Australian Human Rights Commission, with measures applied to address racism, discrimination and combat prejudice, as well as advance mutual understanding and promote good relations. Then Juukan Gorge. Then a Federal Senate Inquiry into UNDRIP, with the final report tabled in November 2023 containing 6 recommendations: Recommendation 1 The Committee recommends the Commonwealth Government ensure its approach to developing legislation and policy on matters relating to First Nations people be consistent with the Articles outlined in UNDRIP. Recommendation 2 The Committee recommends the development of a National Action Plan, in consultation with First Nations peoples, that outlines the approach to implementing UNDRIP in Australia. Recommendation 3 The Committee recommends that any National Action Plan should consider the legislative, policy, and other approaches to implement, and assess compliance with, UNDRIP across all jurisdictions and should seek to include coordination agreements with all levels of government to maximise success. Recommendation 4 The Committee recommends the Commonwealth Government establish an independent process of truth-telling and agreement making, as requested by First Nations people, as a mechanism to support healing and assist implementation of UNDRIP. Recommendation 5 The Committee recommends the Commonwealth Government work with State and Territory Governments and non-government education institutions to develop and adopt content for all levels of education, including for new citizens, in order to enhance awareness of: > Australia’s human rights framework, including the relationship between UNDRIP and human rights covenants, > Australian history in respect to the relevance of the legal fiction of ‘terra nullius’ in facilitating the colonisation and settlement of Australia, and its impact on First Nations people, and > General civics awareness, including the functions and operations of Australian political and legal institutions. Recommendation 6 The Committee recommends the Human Rights (Parliamentary Scrutiny) Act 2011 (Cth) be amended to include UNDRIP in the definition of ‘human rights’, so that it be formally considered by the Parliamentary Joint Committee on Human Rights when scrutinising legislation. Then, in early December, a private members bill to embed UNDRIP was voted down by Parliament. Go well Ambassador for First Nations People! The journey continues, now on an international playing field. #firstnations #indigenous #aboriginal #torresstraitislander #undrip #fpic #humanrights #consent Australian Government
