Progress on disability rights in Aotearoa New Zealand was last reviewed by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the Committee) in September 2014. Since then, the New Zealand Independent Monitoring Mechanism (IMM) under the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (the Disability Convention) has published two further monitoring reports on implementation of the Disability Convention:
Making Disability Rights Real 2014-2019 and
Making Disability Rights Real in a Pandemic.
This summary report updates the Committee, and the New Zealand Parliament and public, with more recent information on the priority areas that prevent disabled people in New Zealand from realising their full suite of human rights as set out in the Disability Convention.
The report notes some areas where the government considers progress has been made toward the realisation of the Disability Convention, and the IMM’s assessment of where further commitment is needed. (From the website). Accessible formats available. Record #7959
