N2  - The rights to life, health protection and health care
place obligations on the government to do all it can
to respond effectively and equitably to COVID-19.
Consistent with these human rights obligations, the
government has responded to the pandemic with vigour
and determination. The Human Rights Commission
strongly commends the government for protecting the
health and lives of so many tangata whenua and New
Zealanders. Overall, the country’s systems of health
protection and health care have performed very well.
Nonetheless, the government’s approach to COVID-19
has some significant shortcomings. This short report
provides ten ‘snapshots’ of how the Level 4 lockdown
impacted upon human rights and Te Tiriti. We can learn
from this experience as we take steps in Level 3 towards
recovery. While there is much to commend in New
Zealand’s response to COVID-19, Te Tiriti and human
rights have not been integrated across the response to
the pandemic.(From the Executive summary). Record #6621
