Engagement with the UN
Tracey addressing the EMRIP July 2011
We have prioritized the monitoring of the New Zealand government's compliance with UN Treaties in particular the Covenant on Political and Civil Rights, the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights and the Covenant of the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination.
AIR Trust monitors New Zealand's compliance by making submissions to New Zealand's draft reports, submitting its own reports to the UN Treaty bodies and attending and lobbying the Treaty bodies when New Zealand is making its periodic reports.
Not only that but AIR Trust also focuses on UN meetings that have a particular mandate related to Indigenous people's rights. AIR Trust participated in the now defunct UN Working Group on Indigenous Populations, the UN Working Group on the Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues and the Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
