Human Rights Act 2003 : ウィキペディア英語版 | Human Rights Act 2003 The Human Rights Act 2003 ((c 12 )) is an Act of the Legislative Assembly of Nunavut, the majority of which came into effect on November 5, 2004. The stated purposes of the Act are ''"to acknowledge within the framework of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit that the Government, all public agencies, boards and commissions and all persons in Nunavut have the responsibility to guarantee that every individual in Nunavut is afforded an equal opportunity to enjoy a full and productive life and that failure to provide equality of opportunity threatens the development and well-being of all persons in the community."'' The Act explicitly does not affect any protections provided for by the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement. A notable achievement of this legislation was to end Nunavut's status as the only jurisdiction in Canada without protections for gay, lesbian and bisexual residents against discrimination.〔 == Provisions == The Human Rights Act 2003 makes it unlawful to discriminate in certain areas (such as employment, the provision of goods and services and tenancy) on the grounds of ''"race, colour, ancestry, ethnic origin, citizenship, place of origin, creed, religion, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, family status, pregnancy, lawful source of income and a conviction for which a pardon has been granted."''〔 The Act also makes it unlawful to harass another person on the basis of such grounds, or publish any material expressing discrimination or implying discrimination against an individual or class of individuals.〔 The Act also established Nunavut Human Rights Tribunal, located in Coral Harbour. Members of the Tribunal are appointed by the Commissioner of Nunavut in Executive Council to serve a term of four years each. Terms may be renewed by the Commissioner in Executive Council, with no term limit. Any person so aggrieved under the Act may file a notification with the Tribunal within two years of any alleged contravention of the Human Rights Act. The Tribunal may make an order in line with s. 34(3) of the Act; such orders are binding on a person as would orders of courts.〔
