Reports from Convention Coalition

On this page you can access reports produced by the Convention Coalition Monitoring Group.

The Article 33 New Zealand Convention Coalition Monitoring Group (also called the “Convention Coalition”) is a group of 8 Disabled People’s Organisations.

The members are:

Association of Blind Citizens of New Zealand Incorporated
Balance NZ
Deaf Aotearoa New Zealand Incorporated
Deafblind (NZ) Incorporated
Disabled Persons Assembly (New Zealand) Inc
Ngā Hau e Whā
Ngāti Kāpo o Aotearoa Incorporated
People First New Zealand Incorporated —Nga Tangata Tuatahi.

All of these organisations are governed by disabled people. They work together to monitor how New Zealand is implementing the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. As monitors of the Convention, they collect information to see how well the Convention is being implemented and if it is making a difference to the everyday lives of disabled people.

The Convention Coalition is part of of the Independent Monitoring Mechanism under the Convention. It consists of three equal partners in monitoring: Human Rights Commission, Office of the Ombudsman, and the Convention Coalition.

The Independent Monitoring Mechanism has produced joint monitoring reports.
