Advocacy for Indigenous Rights in Australia

This chapter focuses on the ongoing efforts at the United Nations to advocate for Indigenous rights, particularly in the context of Australia's National Agreement on Closing the Gap. It addresses the legal and moral imperatives for implementing self-determination principles while highlighting the importance of a robust national legal framework to protect Indigenous rights. Through reflections from social justice advocates and family members of historical figures, the chapter underscores the continued struggle for recognition and justice for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
