Workforce and the aboriginal community-controlled child and family support sector
Indigenous children and families have been seriously harmed by services intended to help them. Recent policy changes in high-income settler-colonial countries seek to shift responsibility for child and family support services to the Indigenous community-controlled sector. Delivering quality outcomes for Indigenous children and families requires skilled, credentialed, and culturally safe workers. This review was undertaken to understand the eviden…

Religious Autonomy and Labour Law
This article examines the way in which the legal systems in two jurisdictions resolve the tension between the protection of the religious autonomy rights of religious employers and the labour law rights of their employees. In the United States, both the courts and the legislatures have been grappling with the issues raised by religious employment for many years. The European Court of Human Rights, by contrast, has only recently begun to see cases…
Individual and Group Religious Freedom in the European Court of Human Rights
The Evolution of Religious Freedom in the European Court of Human Rights Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects religious freedom, looked for many decades as though it was going to be effectively a dead letter. The European Court of Human Rights (“the Court”) did not find a violation of Article 9 until the case of Kokkinakis v. Greece which was decided only seventeen years ago, in 1993. Even after that seminal decisi…
Religion as Politics not Law
The Australian Constitution provides for the protection of religious freedom and prohibits establishment in very similar terms to the United States Constitution. Yet while Australian judges have often stated the importance of religious freedom in a democratic state and have defined religion in a broad, culturally sensitive way, they have taken a narrow approach to the scope of religious freedom and to the meaning of establishment. The end result …
Religious Education in Public Schools
The question of whether and how public schools in Europe (and, indeed, in liberal democracies more generally) should introduce religion into the classroom has become increasingly important. Children need to be given the tools to understand the role of religion in their society and in the world, but they must be protected from indoctrination by their teachers or school officials. This article takes international human rights principles as a standa…

Evaluating human rights education programs
This article discusses some of the complexities inherent in evaluating human rights education programs. The author argues that such evaluations need to be conscious and respectful of human rights values. In particular, it must be recognised that there are many different conceptions of human rights and different aims for human rights programs. Evaluators need to be sensitive to this diversity and respectful of different approaches to human rights …
Religion and International Law
One of the great tasks, perhaps the greatest, weighing on modern international lawyers is to craft a universal law and legal process capable of ordering relations among diverse people with differing religions, histories, cultures, laws, and languages. In so doing, we need to take the world's peoples as we find them and not pretend out of existence their wide variety. This volume, now available in paperback, builds on the eleven essays edited by M…
Human Rights Commissions and Religious Conflict in the Asia-Pacific Region
The last decade has seen the rise of a potentially significant development in the Asia-Pacific region in regard to human rights—the establishment of National Human Rights Institutions (particularly Human Rights Commissions) in numerous States. 2 National Human Rights Commissions (hereafter NHRC) established in compliance with United Nations standards have been established in Australia, Fiji, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, New Zealan…
