Excerpt from the Joint NGO Submission to the Universal Periodic Review of Australia - July 2010

Northern Territory Intervention: The "Northern Territory Emergency Response" intervention 24 into Aboriginal communities (NTER) suspends the operation of Australia's race discrimination legislation and involves a range of draconian measures targeted directly at Aboriginal communities.25 Recent legislative amendments 26 do not repeal the racially discriminatory aspects of the NTER and continue to raise significant human rights concerns. Australia should amend the NTER to remove its discriminatory elements and ensure compliance with international human rights. The recommendations in the Little Children are Sacred report 27 should also be fully implemented.
