Forum: Global Good Samaritans: Human Rights as Foreign Policy

Human rights should be both a goal and an instrument of Australian foreign policy. As a goal, we should commit ourselves to promoting and protecting freedom, dignity, equality and justice for all as a key foreign policy priority. As an instrument, we should promote human rights to secure the underlying conditions for other goals, such as security, development, economic participation and social inclusion (HRLRC).

Professor Alison Brysk - Mellichamp Chair in Global Governance at the University of California Santa Barbara

The Rt Hon Malcolm Fraser AC CH - Former Prime Minister of Australia and former President of CARE International
