In December 2011, the United Nations introduced the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on a communications procedure. Three years down the track Australia is still refusing to sign the protocol.
What this means to thousands of young children, is that whilst Australia agrees that children have rights under international law such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the government is not allowing these children to go direct to the United Nations with their complaint of human rights violation when the government is the perpetrator.
Furthermore, the Australian Human Rights Commission has completely refused to acknowledge the childs right not be taken away from their parents against their wishes - by not even acknowleding this in their Children's Rights posters. So the Australian government is chosing to only tell children what they want them to hear. Well it reinforces the fact that they are still refusing to allow our Australian victims of the child protection racket any opportunity to take their grievances to the UN now doesn't it.
