Resumen

The Act under Part clarifies the meaning of human rights under the Act: (a) the civil and political rights in part 3; and (b) the economic, social and cultural rights in part 3A and adds that the Act is not exhaustive of the rights an individual may have under domestic or international law. Part 3 among the Civil and political rights lists recognition and equality before the law, right to life, rights in criminal proceedings and cultural and other rights specific of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other minorities. The latter includes right to maintain, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage; languages and knowledge; kinship ties; and to have their material and economic relationships with the land and waters and other resources with which they have a connection under traditional laws and customs recognised and valued.
