National Human Rights Officer, Alithia Barampataz, says DfCDYR must take the lead in fulfilling PNG’s human rights obligations and that is to implement its rectified UN human rights treaties.
Barampataz highlighted that the portfolios under the department play a very big role in policy development, collecting information on the human rights treaty reports.
The portfolios include the disability section, gender development and human rights branch, Lukautim Pikinini Council and family welfare services.
