We include the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples while recognising it is not a binding treaty but a declaration affirmed by New Zealand governments. We leave aside the Central and four National Preventive Mechanisms established under the Crimes of Torture Act 1989 because the relevant obligations form part of New Zealand’s national law. 37 The right to privacy is a human right, and the Privacy Act 2020 requires each agency to appoint one or more individuals to be a privacy officer. We suggest the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and Kāinga Ora as two lead housing/housing policy agencies. 38 Framework Guidelines on the Right to a Decent Home in Aotearoa. 39 In international law, the right to a ‘decent home’ is often referred to as the ‘right to adequate housing’. These terms are used interchangeably and have a similar meaning. It is important to understand that, when discussing the right to a decent home, it aligns with the concept of adequate housing as recognised in international legal frameworks. 40 United Nations.
