Focus of the Day Article: On 22 September 2022, the UN Human Rights Committee
found that the Australian Government had violated the human rights of
various Torres Strait islanders through climate change inaction. The rights in issue arose under the International Covenant of Civil and Political Rights of 1966,
and in particular the right to life (Article 6), the right to be free
from arbitrary interference with privacy, family and home (Article 17),
the rights of the child (Article 24), and the right of indigenous
minorities to enjoy their culture – all of which rights should be
respected and ensured to all individuals (Article 2). Full story - UK Human Rights Blog
