Justice Minister Simon Power heads to New York tomorrow to
report to the United Nations on how New Zealand's human
rights obligations are being managed.
Mr Power will on Tuesday and Wednesday next week present New
Zealand's Fifth Periodic Report under the International
Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The report is the product of extensive public consultation.
He said New Zealand could be proud of its history in human
rights and efforts to protect society's most vulnerable and
was looking forward to addressing the UN's human rights
committee.
