51800 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Justice

51800 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Justice: What contributions, if any, has the Minister or any office they are responsible for made to inform the Governments position on the upcoming United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in its 23rd and 24th periodic UN reviews by date and title?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am leading the delegation to New Zealand’s review of its 23rd and 24th reports under the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in Geneva on 25-26 November. The Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination has produced a list of key areas of interest. The Ministry of Justice has been working with relevant agencies to prepare materials covering those issues. I have not yet made any contribution to those materials. However, I expect to receive draft materials for review and comment in due course.
