Music Rights are Human Rights - Ensuring Musical Expression for All

This presentation outlines how the bigger picture of 'Human Rights' can, and should, impact our arguments for the value of music in the lives of all people. First presented at the International Association of Music Libraries, Archives and Documentation Centres (IAML) Australian conference this year, this presentation outlines how the unique constitutional situation in Australia provides challenges that are worth examining for everyone involved in the arts.
