The Commission published the report Monitoring human rights in
the Canterbury earthquake recovery in December 2013. The report
highlighted the key human rights considerations related to the
Canterbury earthquakes. The report also included case study exemplars,
a human rights protection tool kit and links to useful resource material.
During the period, the Commission facilitated engagement and dialogue
between government agencies and affected people in Canterbury in an
effort to improve problem identification, solution design and decisionmaking on issues relating to housing, health and community. This was
done through advocacy, enquiry and complaints work, relationship
brokering, community engagement and reporting/awareness-raising.
At least 15 instances of advice and guidance were provided. At least
three Government agencies found the advice useful and there were at
least five instances where community representatives were assisted to
advocate for their human rights.
