"Most People... Don’t Know Exactly What Their Human Rights Are"

Brian Burdekin is an International Adviser to numerous National Human Rights Institutions. He was Special Adviser on National Institutions to the first three United Nations High Commissioners for Human Rights. Burdekin was also Federal Human Rights Commissioner of Australia, and was made an Officer of the Order of Australia in 1995. He was kind enough to share some of his invaluable knowledge in regard to National Human Rights Institutions with us.
