  • Centre for Human Rights Education / Curtin University

    The Centre for Human Rights Education at Curtin University of Technology was established in January 2003 following the appointment of Professor Jim Ife as inaugural Haruhisa Handa Professor of Human Rights Education. This appointment was made as a result of the generosity of Dr Haruhisa Handa in endowing the Chair in Human Rights Education, the first such chair in an Australian university. The Centre for Human Rights Education provides a focal point for research, teaching and scholarly activity in the area of human rights education. In this context, education is understood in its broadest sense, including community education, raising awareness, promoting understanding and debate around human rights issues, and implementing human rights principles in a range of occupations, as well as education in formal settings of schools and universities. The Centre is multi-disciplinary. Unlike other human rights centres, it is not located within a Law Faculty, but within the Humanities Faculty of the University. It draws on scholarship, research and expertise from a variety of disciplines and professions, including philosophy, political science, sociology, education, health sciences, social work, law, international relations, psychology, anthropology, business and media studies.

  • Researchers for Asylum Seekers / University of Melbourne

    Researchers for Asylum Seekers (RAS) is a voluntary, non-profit group concerned about the treatment of asylum seekers in Australia. Specifically, RAS is concerned about the mandatory detention of asylum seekers, the detention of children, the application of offshore regional processing to asylum seekers who reach Australian waters or shores, and other unfair and inhumane treatment of asylum seekers and refugees. RAS believes that the detention of asylum seekers and refugees should be no longer than administratively necessary for identity, health and security checks and that Australia must fulfil its obligations under the United Nations Refugee Convention, the Convention on the Rights of the Child and international human rights law.
