The WGAD heard testimonies that people with intellectual or learning disabilities are at a particular disadvantage in the criminal justice system. Police officers, lawyers and officials are inadequately trained in relation to intellectual and learning disabilities. This has meant that in some cases, an individual may be questioned by the police without the presence of a lawyer, and is subsequently convicted and sentenced without or with inadequate legal representation. 191. The Commission urges the Committee to remind the Government of its obligation under Article 13 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to afford access to justice on an equal basis and to develop a set of actions designed to ensure there is equal access to justice for persons with Disabilities is New Zealand. Detention under the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 192.
