44 This measure is included in the services from the Human Rights Commission’s non-departmental appropriation for Vote Justice
for 2018/19.
45 Measured through formal feedback solicited at key external events.
46 Includes face-to-face and written engagement including, but not limited to, facilitation of events. Engagements occur in line
with the strategic objectives and advocacy areas as defined in the Commission’s business plan.
47 The Commission intervenes in legal proceedings in courts and tribunals when there are significant human rights issues involved
and where our participation will contribute positively to the development of jurisprudence, policies or practice that will
enhance observance of human rights in New Zealand. Legal interventions require significant preparatory work, input and time
commitment due to the nature of key human-rights-issue cases brought before the courts and can span multiple reporting years.
