| home | news lCall for UN to supervise Govt intervention24 August 2007 - A group of Aboriginal people in Central Australia is calling on the United Nations to oversee the Commonwealth's intervention in the Northern Territory. Members of the Arrernte Nations Campaign met in Alice Springs today to talk about the issue. One of the representatives, Mitch, says the Federal Government is bulldozing Indigenous communities with its plans for a nuclear waste dump in the Territory and with the intervention into communities. "Our human rights have been trampled in this issue, our rights as Indigenous people in Australia have been trampled, and in that regard the United Nations can come in," he said. "Number one, they can have a look at the anti-racism laws that have been changed so that this stuff can go through." Source: ABC related links:
