    WGAR - The Working Group for Aboriginal Rights

    5 December 2007 - Media Release - WGAR urges PM and Minister for Indigenous Affairs to place a Moratorium on the NT Intervention and immediately ratify and implement the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

    In a letter to the PM and Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, the Working Group for Aboriginal Rights (WGAR) strongly recommends that the Federal government takes immediate steps to undo the harm of the NT Intervention which is negatively impacting on the lives of Aboriginal people in the NT.

    WGAR stresses that the ratification of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples is as urgent as the Kyoto protocol.
