Commonwealth Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus KC MP will deliver this year’s Human Rights Day Oration at the Australian Human Rights Awards on 8 December.

He will join Awards finalists and up to 600 guests to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the landmark document setting out the rights and responsibilities for all people, everywhere, every day.

Every year, the Australian Human Rights Commission presents the Oration to mark Human Rights Day, the day the Declaration was adopted (10 December 1948).
