Tel +64 4 382 8129 Email [email protected] Web site www.converge.org.nz/pma ______________________________________________________________________________ NGO information for the 57th session of the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, February 2016 List of Issues Prior to Reporting: New Zealand Overview 1. This preliminary report provides an outline of some issues of concern with regard to the state party's compliance with the provisions of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR, the Covenant). Its purpose is to assist the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (the Committee) with its preparation of the List of Issues Prior to Reporting (LOIPR) in advance of New Zealand's Fourth Periodic Report (the Periodic Report). 2. There are five main sections below: A. Information on Peace Movement Aotearoa B. Constitutional and legal framework C. Indigenous Peoples’ Rights (Articles 1, 2 and 15) i) Overview, ii) Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, and iii) Impact of the activities of New Zealand companies on indigenous communities overseas. D. Socio-economic conditions (Articles 2, 3, 7, 9 11, and others) i) Increasing levels of child poverty, ii) Right to an adequate standard of living: social welfare / paid employment, iii) Housing crisis, iv) Allocation of public spending E. The Optional Protocol to the Covenant 3. More detailed information will be provided on these and other issues in parallel reports from Peace Movement Aotearoa and other NGOs following the state party’s submission of the Periodic Report next year. Due to time constraints, we have not covered as many issues in this report as we would have liked to, and we therefore refer the Committee to the Human Rights Foundation’s report which covers a range of concerns that we share.

  • Do We Need Kiwi Lessons in Biculturalism?
    Do We Need Kiwi Lessons in Biculturalism? Considering the Usefulness of Aotearoa/New Zealand’sPakehā ̄Identity in Re-Articulating Indigenous Settler Relations in Canada DAVID B. MACDONALD University of Guelph Narratives of “métissage” (Saul, 2008), “settler” (Regan, 2010; Barker and Lowman, 2014) “treaty people” (Epp, 2008; Erasmus, 2011) and now a focus on completing the “unfinished business of Confederation” (Roman, 2015) reinforce the view that the government is embarking on a new polit- ical project of Indigenous recognition, inclusion and partnership. Yet recon- ciliation is a contested concept, especially since we are only now dealing with the inter-generational and traumatic legacies of the Indian residential schools, missing and murdered Indigenous women and a long history of (at least) cultural genocide. Further, the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, with its focus on Indigenous self-determi- nation, has yet to be implemented in Canadian law. Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) presented over 94 recommendations and sub-recommendations to consider, outlining a long-term process of cre- ating positive relationships and helping to restore the lands, languages, David MacDonald, Department of Political Science, University of Guelph, 50 Stone Road East, Guelph ON, N1G 2W1, email: [email protected] Nga mihi nui, nya: weh,̨ kinana’skomitina’wa’w, miigwech, thank you, to Dana Wensley, Rick Hill, Paulette Regan, Dawnis Kennedy, Malissa Bryan, Sheryl Lightfoot, Kiera Ladner, Pat Case, Malinda Smith, Brian Budd, Moana Jackson, Margaret Mutu, Paul Spoonley, Stephen May, Robert Joseph, Dame Claudia Orange, Chris Finlayson, Makere Stewart Harawira, Hone Harawira, Te Ururoa Flavell, Tā Pita Sharples, Joris De Bres, Sir Anand Satyananand, Phil Goff, Shane Jones, Ashraf Choudhary, Andrew Butcher, Hekia Parata, Judith Collins, Kanwaljit Bakshi, Chris Laidlaw, Rajen Prasad, Graham White, and three anonymous reviewers.

  • POLITICAL COMMENTARY Reflection on the 2014 Election: Implications for Women
    88 POLITICAL COMMENTARY Reflection on the 2014 election: Implications for women SUE BRADFORD This has not been a good election for women, unless perhaps you’re white, wealthy and suf- ficiently lacking in empathy to believe that John Key and his mates are going to do a good job for us all over the next three years. Whether considering the gender makeup of Parliament and Cabinet, the likely consequences of a National government for women and children over the next few years, or the melancholy fate of the parties of the left, the aspiration of pre-election initiatives like the Women’s Election Agenda appear somewhat dimmed by reality. Parliament A noticeable feature of the 51st Parliament is the reduced number of women elected, down to 37 out of 84, meaning that women make up slightly under 32% of MPs. The 2011 Parliament had 39 women MPs. High hopes that the maturation of MMP and the legacy of the Helen Clark era would mean a steady increase in the numbers of women entering Parliament have clearly not been met. Apart from the Greens, it is hard to identify much success among the major political parties in achieving greater gender balance among their elected representatives. Just 34% of Labour’s MPs are women (11 out of 32), meaning that their goal of reaching 45% women MPs by this election has fallen sadly short. Turning to the makeup of the power holders in National’s third term Cabinet, a pitiful six out of 20 full Ministers are women, with the highest ranked being Paula Bennett at number five.
