Comparing Australia with other Nations

Human Rights in Australia: Treaties, Statutes and Cases is a comprehensive collection of international, Australian and comparative human rights materials in one easy-to-use volume. A note indicating the significance of the material in Australian law is included for many of the instruments.

Each Federal, State and Territory anti-discrimination statute is reproduced in the book as well as important High Court cases on a range of human rights issues including the relationship between international law and Australian law (including Polyukhovich, Mabo No 2, Dietriech and Teoh), rights protected by the Australian Constitution (including Kable and Lange) and the interpretation of anti-discrimination statutes.
