New Zealand is a party to a number of United Nations human rights treaties which require New Zealand to periodically report on its compliance with the substantive provisions of those treaties. These periodic reports are the subject of consideration and questioning of representatives of the New Zealand government, in public, by the monitoring bodies established under those treaties.<\/p>\n

For a number of years now, most of the monitoring bodies have permitted non-governmental organisations to provide supplementary information or present alternative information to those monitoring bodies in order to better inform them as to the true state of affairs as to human rights compliance within the relevant jurisdiction – Shadow Reports.<\/p>\n

The Foundation believes that shadow reporting is a valuable contributor to the effectiveness of treaty monitoring and, recognising the resource constraints that may be limiting NGO participation in this process, established the Shadow Report Award in order to support a person or body in the preparation of shadow reports for, and\/or attendance at, the presentation of the periodic reports before, United Nations human rights monitoring bodies acting under human rights instruments that they monitor.<\/p>\n

Awards\u00a0 of up to $10,000 were made between 2012 and 2019 as New Zealand’s reporting obligations came up for review.\u00a0 Details of recipients follow.<\/p>\n
