During 2014/15 the Commission worked with the Iwi Leaders Forum on the development and implementation of an autonomous Independent Monitoring Mechanism (IMM) for the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). The Iwi Leaders Forum’s UNDRIP IMM was presented to the United Nations Expert Mechanism on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Geneva in July 2015. In the 2014/15 year, the Commission achieved 90 outcomes that delivered systemic change for human rights. For example: • w  ithin the tourism industry, some companies will be involved in providing training for reservations and tour guide staff for dealing with people with a disability and from a variety of different ethnic backgrounds • an  organisation adjusted timetables and rosters to accommodate the religion of some of its employees • an employer arranged for staff to complete an e-learning course on bullying and harassment • a school promulgated new protocols for communication with parents of children with a disability • an agency made provision for ‘other’ alongside male and female on its forms • an  employer changed its recruitment practices to ensure decisions are based on skill needs rather than personal attributes • t he removal of racially offensive commentary and sexist advertising from internet sites was also achieved for some complaints The 2014/15 year also saw some significant international progress towards improved human rights. The New Zealand Government has supported the increasing influence of National Human Rights Institution’s (NHRIs) in the UN human rights reporting process. It is now possible for NHRIs like the Commission to make statements in the UN Human Rights Council. The importance of the realisation of human rights has also been recognised this year by governments, including New Zealand’s, in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, in the Samoa Pathway. This Framework was an outcome of the Third International Conference on Small Island Developing States and the development of the Sustainable Development Goals 2016–2030. The increasing influence of human rights and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights was also seen in the Declaration of the G7 Leaders in June 2015 and in the publication by Unilever of the first human rights report by a corporation. The importance of business as agents in upholding human rights is reflected in our increased work with business in our 2015–2018 strategic plan. Annual Report 2015 19
