Daniel Billy et al. v Australia is the first successful climate litigation case before a United Nations ('UN') human rights body. On September 23 2022, the UN Human Rights Committee found in favour of a group of eight Torres Strait Islanders, concluding that Australia's failure to adequately protect them against adverse impacts of climate change violated their rights to enjoy their culture under Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and be free from arbitrary interferences with their private life, family and home under Article 17. Here, we discuss the decision and its broader context and significance in Australia and globally.**** [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
