Synopsis
This is a course on international human rights law and Australian human rights and anti-discrimination law. Students will examine international human rights treaties, institutions and procedures and the incorporation of Australia's human rights obligations into domestic law, before turning to Commonwealth and Queensland human rights and anti-discrimination legislation. Students will review the human rights protected under the Human Rights Act 2019 (Qld) and procedures to protect those rights, including public entity obligations. The course will cover grounds and procedures for lodging complaints about a human rights breach or unlawful discrimination, noting the functions of the Australian Human Rights Commission, Federal Courts, the Queensland Human Rights Commission and the Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal.
This course is designed to equip students with the necessary skills and knowledge to recognise when a human rights breach or unlawful discrimination has occurred, understand the relevant laws and procedures and identify appropriate remedies.
