In New Zealand we don't actually have a Human Rights Act as such yet. > > And where do I actually find a entire text of the Act > as I have looked on the Human Rights Commission page > and theres no full text there... There will not be as there is not a Human Rights Act in New Zealand. YET!! You may have rights under other legislation though. You may also submit your thoughts to "The Human Rights Commission" as well. |

| 240987 | 2004-06-01 11:38:00 | Hi Chris, Yes you are quite correct, there definitely is an Human Rights Act (Human Rights Act 1993, and several amendments in fact). Go here click on the + next to H and scroll down to "Human Rights Act 1993" and the act will load in the right-hand pane. HTH Mike. |

| 240988 | 2004-06-01 11:41:00 | Here is a direct link to the Human Rights Act (from the site I gave in the previous post) - however this link has no frames or anything, so you can't really browse the site. Mike. |

| 240989 | 2004-06-01 11:46:00 | awesome guys thanks for the answers :D and to put in a claim that breaches the Act, I just have to contact the Human Rights Commission and they will give me info on what to do to present a case? is that correct? |

| 240990 | 2004-06-01 22:15:00 | Yes, the Commissioner is the person you complain to for an alleged breach of human rights in NZ. Apart from that there is always the United Nations. | Winston001 (3612) | ||
