It covers the period March 2006 to March 2010. The report covers the key legislative, judicial, administrative or other measures adopted in the review period that give effect to the provisions of the Convention. It should therefore be read in conjunction with New Zealand’s previous reports under the Convention, as well as New Zealand’s Fifth Periodic Report under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (CCPR/C/NZL/2007), New Zealand’s Third Periodic Report under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Un-numbered) and New Zealand’s National Report Submitted in Accordance with Paragraph 15 (A) of the Annex to Human Rights Council Resolution 5/1 (A/HRC/WG.6/5/NZL/1). Reference should also be made to New Zealand’s Core Document, which gives an overview of the characteristics of New Zealand society and of the political and legal structures that are in place to ensure the promotion and protection of human rights within New Zealand, including the rights of women and girls. The Committee’s Concluding Comments on New Zealand’s Sixth Periodic Report (CEDAW/C/NZL/6, referred to hereafter as the ‘last report’) included some suggestions and recommendations to improve the status of women in New Zealand. Responses to the recommendations are provided in a table appended to this report (see Appendix A).

A close reading of the parliamentary debates on the Act suggests that although the supporters and opponents of the legislation seemed to be worlds apart, many told similar stories about New Zealand as a nation, and citizens within that nation, emphasising similar values and aspirations. Both sides told stories of citizens, of New Zealanders, as tolerant and fair, as forwarding-looking progressives who value stable long-term, committed relationships, warm loving communities for children, and strong families and family relationships. Both sides generally saw marriage as a positive institution, a cornerstone of society and a building block for society and the nation. While some talked of existing alternatives to marriage, such as defacto relationships, and there was some recognition that not all marriages are good ones, with a few notable exceptions, there was little mention of critiques of marriage as an institution and little or no positive mention of relationships outside of the paradigm of long-term committed monogamous relationships.

    ARTICLE Family planning unmet need and access among iTaukei women in New Zealand and Fiji Radilaite Cammock, Peter Herbison, Sarah Lovell, Patricia Priest ABSTRACT AIM: The aim of the study was to identify unmet need and family planning access among indigenous Fijian or iTaukei women living in New Zealand and Fiji. METHOD: A cross-sectional survey was undertaken between 2012–2013 in five major cities in New Zealand: Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin; and in three suburbs in Fiji. Women who did not want any (more) children but were not using any form of contraception were defined as having an unmet need. Access experiences involving cost and health provider interactions were assessed. RESULTS: Unmet need in New Zealand was 26% and similar to the unmet need found in Fiji (25%). Cost and concern over not being seen by a female provider were the most problematic access factors for women. CONCLUSION: There is a need for better monitoring and targeting of family planning services among minority Pacific groups, as the unmet need found in New Zealand was three times the national estimate overall and similar to the rate found in Fiji. Cost remains a problem among women trying to access family planning services. Gendered traditional roles in sexual and reproductive health maybe an area from which more understanding into cultural sensitivities and challenges may be achieved. amily planning is considered an to be in control of when to have or limit the important tool in averting maternal number and timing of children, giving them deaths and ensuring women’s repro- the autonomy and self-preservation that is F 1 ductive needs are met.

  • LAW REFORM and the ADOPTION ACT 1955: a HISTORY of MISFORTUNE Research Paper for LAWS 526: Law Reform and Policy
    ISLA MIRREN DOIDGE LAW REFORM AND THE ADOPTION ACT 1955: A HISTORY OF MISFORTUNE Research Paper for LAWS 526: Law Reform and Policy Submitted for the LLB (Honours) Degree Faculty of Law Victoria University of Wellington 2016 2 Law Reform and the Adoption Act 1955: A History of Misfortune Law Reform and the Adoption Act 1955: A History of Misfortune The Adoption Act 1955 is now 61 years old and has been passed over for reform on multiple occasions. This paper analyses the failed history of law reform beginning in the year 2000 when a Law Commission Report was issued. This paper identifies why successive attempts by both Labour and National governments failed in reforming adoption over a sixteen year period. Despite multiple attempts at reform, this paper argues that law reform has failed due to a combination of other important governmental priorities, the controversial issues involved in adoption, the ability of the courts to reinterpret the legislation, and the small impact of reform. This paper concludes by using adoption reform as a case study to draw out three main general principles about law reform. The first is the necessity of reform; this paper argues when law reform involves a controversial human rights problem it becomes simultaneously difficult to progress due to political risk, but once that controversy is resolved the reform is no longer considered as necessary. The second is the opportunity to reform; when law reform is seen as less necessary because other agencies are able fix problems within the legislation, other more critical projects will displace a reform project on the hierarchy of political priorities.

  • The International Private Law Provisions in the Civil Partnership
    1 Recognition of Foreign Relationships Under the Civil Partnership Act 2004 Introduction The United Kingdom’s Civil Partnership Act 2004 came into effect on 5th December 2005, having received Royal Assent just over a year previously. It creates an institution for same-sex couples, known as “civil partnership”, parallel to but separate from marriage, and it replicates most of the rules of civil marriage in terms of entry, consequences during subsistence, and termination. Opposite-sex couples have no access to this new institution, just as same-sex couples have no access in the UK to the established institution of marriage. Maintaining the exclusivity of both institutions to the different gender mixes was crucial to the Government’s policy in promoting the legislation, designed to avoid the criticism that the Act represented an attack on the institution of marriage1. The United Kingdom was by no means the first country to introduce civil partnership for same-sex couples: the credit goes to Denmark2, though that country was quickly followed in the 1990s by the other Scandinavian countries and in the early 2000s by an increasing number of western and central European countries.3 In addition, civil partnership has been introduced, by a variety of names (the most common of which are “civil union” and “registered partnership”) in other (politically) western jurisdictions, such as some provinces and states in North America4, and New Zealand.5 1 See Civil Partnership: A Framework for the Legal Recognition of Same-Sex Couples (DTI, 2003) at paras 2.7 – 2.8 and Annex B; Civil Partnership Registration: A Legal Status for Committed Same-Sex Couples in Scotland (Scottish Executive 2003) at paras 5.7 – 5.8.

  • The New Zealand Civil Union Act: New Challenges for Private International Law
    69 THE NEW ZEALAND CIVIL UNION ACT: NEW CHALLENGES FOR PRIVATE INTERNATIONAL LAW Joanna Campbell * This article discusses private international law issues which arise as a result of the Civil Union Act 2004, which came into force in 2005. The author first discusses what kind of recognition New Zealand may extend to foreign unions, including both civil union type relationships and same sex marriages. This discussion considers recognition under the Civil Unions (Recognised Overseas Relationships) Regulations 2005, recognition as marriage and other possible avenues of recognition. This includes a consideration of currently recognised and unrecognised relationships, and the desirability of the current approach. It also includes a discussion of the issues surrounding the recognition of these types of relationships generally; for example, validity, status and public policy. The author then considers what kind of recognition the New Zealand civil union may receive in foreign jurisdictions. I INTRODUCTION The enactment of the Civil Union Act 2004 and its coming into force in 2005 has given rise to much public debate. The Act also gives rise to less widely discussed issues in the area of private international law. Around the world various forms of recognition for domestic partnership have emerged.1 Many European countries, including the United Kingdom, have legislation similar to the New Zealand Civil Union Act 2004 which allows partners of the same or different sex to register their relationship. Other countries have made the more controversial move of amending their marriage laws to allow couples of the same sex to marry in the same way as different sex couples: namely Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and some jurisdictions in Canada and the United States.

  • Increasing the Representativeness of Parliament in Aotearoa/New Zealand
    Increasing the representativeness of Parliament in Aotearoa/New Zealand What have been the effects, and what can be learned from the process? Tina Day 20-10-05 1cjd's new zealand comment (print vers)- october 2005.dot Introduction In 1996 the Mixed Member Proportional system displaced the ‘First Past the Post’ system in Aotearoa/New Zealand (A/NZ). One result seems to have been a sustained (although fluctuating) increase in the Parliamentary representation of women, to around 30%. Other results and learning points are less clear, but potentially of great interest to us in the UK. For example: • increased representativeness increases the legitimacy, standing – and volatility – of Parliament • openness on the part of politicians results in a strong connection between public and politician • equity is seen to be about the valuing of merit but may need more positive measures to progress further towards parity. Each of these issues is discussed in more detail in this paper. Key questions for the study included: • Does the change of system guarantee more women MPs, even with a future change of government – and will the number and percentage of women continue to rise beyond the 30% level that is perhaps the minimum proportion necessary for a legislature deemed to be representative of women? • Is there any evidence in the New Zealand experience that the culture of Parliament, together with its policy making, has started to change now that there are more women in the House of Representatives as well as being more visible in other top jobs? • What about all the other, hitherto under-represented groups – how have things changed for them? This article is based on interviews with 21 MPs from all the political parties represented in the 47th (2002-2005) Parliament (including about half the total of women MPs and about one fifth of all MPs) and a handful of further interviews with other interested parties (including former Parliamentary candidates).
