  • New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States
    Order Code RL32876 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States April 12, 2005 Bruce Vaughn Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress New Zealand: Background and Bilateral Relations with the United States Summary New Zealand and the United States continue to have strong ties despite some differences. These close ties are based on shared cultural traditions and values. Differences between the United States and New Zealand emerged in the mid 1980s over New Zealand’s policy to ban nuclear armed and nuclear powered ships from its ports. This led to a defacto split between the United States and New Zealand within the context of the Australia-New Zealand-United States (ANZUS) alliance. Despite this issue, New Zealand is a regular contributor to international peace operations and has contributed troops to the war against terror in Afghanistan and to assist reconstruction efforts in Iraq. Under the leadership of Prime Minister Helen Clark, who will likely seek a third term as prime minister in elections that must be held before September 2005, New Zealand is seeking a closer economic relationship with the United States through a free trade agreement (FTA). The United States is New Zealand’s second most important trading partner after Australia. While the overall volume of trade with new Zealand is relatively small, at U.S.$5 billion in 2004, progress on the FTA is viewed as politically significant. In February of 2005, Representatives Jim Kolbe and Ellen Tauscher launched the Friends of New Zealand Congressional Caucus.

  • Dotcoms Announce Settlement of Lawsuit Against New Zealand Police for Unreasonable Conduct During January 2012 Raid
    DOTCOMS ANNOUNCE SETTLEMENT OF LAWSUIT AGAINST NEW ZEALAND POLICE FOR UNREASONABLE CONDUCT DURING JANUARY 2012 RAID Auckland, New Zealand, 3 November, 2017 Kim Dotcom and Mona Dotcom announce that they have resolved their lawsuit against the New Zealand Police in which the Dotcoms sought a remedy for their claim about the unreasonable use of force in the military-style raid of their family home in January of 2012. The Dotcoms also raised the concern that their home and family had been under intrusive visual surveillance by the Police which had not been authorised by the Court. The complaint arose from events occurring in the early morning of January 20, 2012, when 72 police officers including the heavily armed Special Tactics Group (STG) and the Armed Offenders Squad (AOS) descended on the Dotcoms’ family home in Coatesville to make a number of arrests at the request of the United States in an Internet copyright matter. Landing two helicopters just outside the family home, the entry team sprang to action, wielding M4 Bushmaster rifles. The forces entered the Dotcom home and held the Dotcom family, staff and guests at gunpoint. The officers caused considerable damage to the Dotcom property as they stormed through the house, around the grounds and over the roof. Mona Dotcom, who was 7 months pregnant with twins, and the Dotcom children were traumatised. Neither the Dotcoms nor their guests were allowed to talk to each other or their lawyers for an unreasonable period. The United States’ basis for the raid, online copyright infringement, is not even a crime in New Zealand.

  • New Zealand 2019 Crime & Safety Report
    New Zealand 2019 Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Wellington, New Zealand. The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses New Zealand at Level 1, indicating travelers should exercise normal precautions. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Wellington does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The American Citizen Services (ACS) unit cannot recommend a particular individual or establishment, and assumes no responsibility for the quality of services provided. Review OSAC’s New Zealand page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is minimal risk from crime in Wellington and Auckland. In general, crime is less prevalent in New Zealand than in major U.S. cities. According to the Global Peace Index 2018, New Zealand was ranked the second-safest country in the world. A majority of the country’s population lives in the larger urban areas of Auckland, Christchurch, and Wellington, all of which lead the country in criminal activity and associated arrests. In major urban areas, street crimes, such as thefts from vehicles, are routine occurrences, and foreign tourists are frequently victims. Year-end statistics for 2018, however, show a 3.5% decrease in violent and petty crimes throughout New Zealand compared to 2017. The use of weapons in crimes remains an infrequent occurrence throughout New Zealand; arrests for weapons-related offenses continue to decline.

  • New Zealand 2017 Crime & Safety Report
    New Zealand 2017 Crime & Safety Report Overall Crime and Safety Situation U.S. Embassy Wellington does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The ACS unit cannot recommend a particular individual or location and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE HAS ASSESSED WELLINGTON AS BEING A LOW- THREAT LOCATION FOR CRIME DIRECTED AT OR AFFECTING OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT INTERESTS. Please review OSAC’s New Zealand-specific webpage for proprietary analytic reports, Consular Messages, and contact information. Crime Threats In general, crime is less prevalent in New Zealand than in major cities in the U.S. A majority of the country’s population lives in the larger urban areas of Wellington, Auckland, and Christchurch, all of which lead the country in criminal activity and associated arrests. Although complete statistics for 2016 are not available, mid-year indicators show a 5.4% decline in violent and petty crimes throughout New Zealand in comparison to 2015. In major urban areas, street crimes (thefts from vehicles) are routine occurrences, and foreign tourists are frequently the victims. Arrests for weapons-related offenses continued to show a slight decline; however, the use of weapons in crimes remains an infrequent occurrence throughout New Zealand. Homicides and other violent crimes appear to have declined, though there was an increase in fraud and deception-related offenses compared to 2015. It was unclear whether this increase was due to an actual spike in criminal activity or whether outreach efforts by law enforcement have encouraged more victims to come forward and make reports.
