The text takes the perspective of international human rights law, describes what it requires, and then analyses the extent to which New Zealand law complies with it. It is intended to be an authoritative text that can be cited in courts and be the book of choice for human rights courses; it should also play a role in the development of New Zealand law by reference to international human rights standards. Written by many of New Zealand's leading human rights law experts, the tone and content of the chapters combines the substance of sound legal academic analysis with the practicality of a book that can be used in practice by judges, lawyers, NGOs and activists. The book will appeal to both the academic and practitioner markets.

'The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted while the world remained deeply shocked by the atrocities committed during the Second World War, was an inspirational creation. ... It is hard to conceive of this document being adopted today. Like most other nations, New Zealand has succumbed to a kind of world-weary acceptance that full enjoyment of universal human rights remains a distant dream.' Preface, Dame Silvia Cartwright, PCNZM, DBE, QSO New Zealand is proud of its human rights record with good reason. It was the first country in the world to give women the vote and it played a prominent part in the establishment of the United Nations and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. New Zealand recently took a leading role in the creation of the world’s newest human rights treaty, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. But just how good are things in practice? Are our governments living up to the promises they make when they ratify human rights treaties? Human Rights in New Zealand is a comprehensive survey of the seven major international human rights treaties which New Zealand has signed and ratified, as well as the Universal Periodic Review. Based on four years of research, undertaken with the support of the New Zealand Law Foundation, this book concludes that significant faultlines are emerging in the human rights landscape. It sets out an agenda for change with recommendations for practical action.
