UNCROC Reporting
|
Our government must lodge periodic reports every five years with the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. These reports must explain how the UNCROC is being implemented in Aotearoa New Zealand. The government has submitted its 5th Period Report to UNCROC.
Go to UNCROC documents for previous NZ government reports. Concluding observations At the conclusion of the periodic reporting process, the UN Committee issues Concluding Observations on the reporting country. The Concluding Observations contain the UN Committee’s recommendations on actions it considers a country ought to take in order to achieve full implementation of UNCROC. The concluding observations also contain statements acknowledging cases where progress has been made and expressing concern in cases where it is evident that UNCROC rights have been breached. Go to the website of UN Committee on the Rights of the Child to view the concluding observations.
