During International Human Rights Week in December 2015, Reseachers Against Pacific Black Sites convened a series of public events in which members of the community came together to call the Australian government to account for failing to uphold the Human Rights conventions on the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers.


These Calls to Account have now been gathered into a moving and powerful documentary. To coincide with the Human Rights Film Festival, a number of pop-up screenings will be held throughout May (See http://researchersagainstpacificblacksites.org/index.php/2015/12/18/rapbs-call-toaccount-2015/)

The film 'Call to Account' (produced by Steve Thomas) documents the reading of a set of charges, compiled by Researchers Against Pacific Black Sites, calling the Australian state to account for its failures to uphold international human rights conventions and treaties such as the Rights of the Child, the Convention against Torture and the Refugee Convention. It is presented as part of the Human Rights Arts and Film Festival.

Sydney event: Thursday 26 May, 6-7pm, Drama Studio, Y3A 183
