This will include the initial development of NZBORA, and the theory behind rights safeguards. I will then examine possible improvements and alternatives to New Zealand’s existing rights safeguards. This will include a discussion of judicial review, parliamentary scrutiny, human rights select committees, and policy making processes, specifically the potential of Human Rights Impact Statements as part of the policy process.pdfen-NZhttps://www.wgtn.ac.nz/library/about-us/policies-and-strategies/copyright-for-the-researcharchiveNew Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990Scope of s 7 of NZBORAScope of s 7 of New Zealand Bill of Rights ActJusticiability of s 7 of NZBORAJusticiability of s 7 of New Zealand Bill of Rights ActNZBORA remediesNew Zealand Bill of Rights Act remediesPolicy processesHuman Rights Impact StatementHuman rights select committeesJudicial reviewParliamentary scrutinyTextAll rights, except those explicitly waived, are held by the Author
