Traditional owners have urged the United Nations to intervene in Adani’s proposed Carmichael mine by formally censuring Australia at a meeting in Geneva this month.
U.S lawyers acting for the traditional owners Family Council have called on a UN Committee to publicly condemn Australian authorities for violating a pact against racial discrimination by wiping out their native title rights.
An Adani Australia spokesperson said the company continued to engage with traditional owners due to being legally bound to do so under the negotiated, agreed and registered Indigenous Land Use Agreements and the Cultural Heritage Management Plans.
