March, 1999 Human Rights Brief A new publication from the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission HREOC is launching an occasional publication on human rights. Each number will deal with a different aspect of human rights, and provide a more detailed interpretation than is commonly available. The first number focuses on "Best Interests of the Child". Future topics will include equality before the law, children’s rights in education, the rights of detainees and prisoners and freedom of religion and belief. HREOC aims to publish 3 4 numbers per year, building a practical, authoritative, on-line resource over many human rights issues. Both paper and web versions will be published at first. Subsequent numbers may be in electronic version only, and all numbers will be downloadable from the HREOC web site at HYPERLINK http://www.hreoc.gov.au/human_rights/brief http://www.hreoc.gov.au/human_rights/brief . Human Rights Brief will provide lawyers, particularly in CLCs or doing pro-bono work, with a resource they can use in further understanding and applying Human Rights principles under Australian law.
