U.S. advocates, participating in the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, used “shadow reporting”to urge the committee to hold the U.S. government accountable for racial discrimination. Two case studies from the shadow report, one concerning police brutality in Chicago and the other highlighting the failure of several U.S. cities to uphold the human right to housing, were directly adopted by the committee in its final report. Advocates at home can use such international attention as a tool to promote their clients’ interests.

Being seventeen in Queensland
Terry Hutchinson
Alternative Law Journal
Volume 32, Number 2, June 2007

The Queensland criminal justice system has come under the international spotlight in relation to its policy on the treatment of 17-year-old offenders. In Queensland, offenders of this age are treated as adults. Queensland is now the only state or territory in Australia where this occurs. This article examines the legislative background to the present situation. The human rights implications are highlighted, in particular through the observations of the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child. There are substantive differences in treatment which results when an offender is classified as an adult rather than a child. This article argues that the Queensland government should be encouraged to change its stance on the issue.
