Donald Rothwell: Diplomatic protection of Australians abroad - Vice-Chancellor's Lecture Series

Professor Donald Rothwell examines the Australian Government's response to a number of high-profile cases, including the detention of David Hicks in 2001, the Stern Hu trial in 2010 and the current situation of Wikileaks founder, Julian Assange.

Professor Rothwell argues that a stronger framework is needed to remove apparent inconsistencies in how the Government has handled such cases in the past, provide more certainty to Australian citizens on their rights to assistance, and ultimately ensure greater Government accountability.

Professor Rothwell is an international law expert from the ANU College of Law.
