Aboriginal media release re forced removal of children from their mothers and violation of UN Genocide Convention, Article 2 (e)(1991): “The damage and trauma these policies caused are felt every day by Aboriginal people. They internalise their grief, guilt and confusion, inflicting further pain on themselves and other around them … We want an enquiry to determine how many of our children were taken away and how this occurred … We also want to consider whether these policies fall within the definition of genocide in Article II(e) of the United Nations Convention …” [1].
