Australia's Position

 The Australian Government considers the concluding observations of all human rights treaty bodies.

Australia reports on the Concluding Observations of the Committee Against Torture through periodic reporting processes established under the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. Australia’s next report to the Committee is due by 28 November 2018, with an appearance to follow that report in due course.

The Australian Government has established a Standing National Human Rights Mechanism to strengthen Australia's overall engagement with United Nations human rights reporting. One function of the Standing Mechanism is to respond to and follow-up on recommendations and concluding observations arising from United Nations human rights mechanisms.
