Justice Minister Simon Power heads to New York tomorrow to report to the United Nations on how New Zealand's human rights obligations are being managed.
Mr Power will on Tuesday and Wednesday next week present New Zealand's Fifth Periodic Report under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.
The report is the product of extensive public consultation. He said New Zealand could be proud of its history in human rights and efforts to protect society's most vulnerable and was looking forward to addressing the UN's human rights committee.
