Self determination - UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples

It is deeply saddening that the Indigenous People of Australia are still facing so many challenges and difficulties in our society today. Human rights are for everyone, around the world, irrespective of race, religion, gender, sexuality, age, ability...or any of the other myriad ways that humans stereotype and discriminate against others who are not just like them. If we want a future where everyone can live fully and fulfill their unique potential then this type of behaviour must end. The Declarations of Human Rights by the UN create a guide for 'best practice' for everyone, it is time that Governments/Corporations and Peoples around the world abided by them and made the world a better place for everyone.
