review current legislative and policy settings given the particular issues concerning the right to redress that have been brought to light. 4. A Government commitment to full engagement with the United Nations Special Rapporteurs on the Right to Adequate Housing and the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Engagement with the UN Special Rapporteurs is not only essential for New Zealand’s reputation as a responsible international citizen, it can assist in ensuring that systemic issues are properly addressed, and that robust and effective processes are developed to avoid future or ongoing problems and disputes. More generally, the Commission encourages the Government to continue to acknowledge the impact that colonisation and historical injustices have had on the mana whenua of Ihumātao and on all Māori as a whole. In particular, it is important to recognise the impact this has had on the rights of Māori to maintain and enjoy their rights under the Declaration in relation to land and culture. Ihumātao can be a turning point for the protection of indigenous rights in Aotearoa New Zealand and it provides a real opportunity to move the nation forward in a constructive way. The Declaration has a compelling, constructive and vital role to play in this critically important process. A resolution at Ihumātao that upholds the rights of mana whenua presents an opportunity for reconciliation, for harmonious relations and nation building – hohou te rongo establishing peace.
