Human Rights Committee members have given presentations on the implementation and use of rights under the International Covenants and on parents' and children's rights in adoption cases.
Events have included a practice-based session at the IHC library, a talk by the political journalist Nicky Hager about his recent legal trials, presentations about the education rights of disabled children and the recent cases on the fluoridation of the water supply.
The committee proposes to continue with its outgoing and inquisitive focus, and also seeks closer liaison with the national committee so as to be able to contribute directly to detailed discussion of law reform.
