"Torture is widely practiced in this country to obtain confessions and extract information. It is most frequently applied between when victims are detained, often arbitrarily, and when they are handed to civilian prosecutors - a time when they are often held prisoner at military bases or illegal detention sites. Confessions obtained through torture are used as evidence at criminal trials."
"Every individual and every organ of society... shall strive by teaching and educating to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance"

Almost 20 Years after Land Rights was won in the Northern Territory, Torres Strait Islander activist 'Eddie Mabo' spearheaded the fight for the Indigenous Land Rights across the rest of Australia.
In 1992, he brought what became known as "The Mabo Case" before the Australian High Court. He challenged the then-existing law that Australia was Terra Nullius (nobody's land) which prevented Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples from owning and controlling their own land...
The Mabo Case was a significant legal case in Australia that recognised the land rights of the Meriam people, traditional owners of the Murray Islands (which include the islands of Mer, Dauer and Waier) in the Torres Strait. The Mabo Case was successful in overturning the myth that at the time of colonisation Australia was ‘terra nullus’ or land belonging to no one.

Trauma is generally understood as a person's response to a major catastrophic event that's so overwhelming it leaves that person unable to come to terms with it.
In some cases, trauma is passed down from the first generation of survivors who directly experienced or witnessed traumatic events to future generations.
