Native Title Report 1999

Under the Native Title Act 1993, the Social Justice Commissioner is required to prepare a Native Title Report each year for federal Parliament. Through these reports the Commissioner gives a human rights perspective on native title issues and advocates for practical co-existence between Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups in using land. 

The Native Title Report 1999 considers the principles upheld by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in light of the 1998 ammendments to the Native Title Act.
