| Committee The Committee co-ordinates activities
to celebrate Human Rights Week every December, centred on the
United Nations Day for Human Rights. Their goal is to promote
knowledge and understanding amongst Tasmanians about human rights,
what they are and how to defend them. The Committee also spreads
knowledge and understanding about the state of human rights
elsewhere in the world, how it touches us and how we can help others
to claim and protect their rights. |
