NZ's obligations in relation to the criminalisation
of child trafficking (2021)
The Coalition consider it of vital importance that New Zealand is, at a minimum, meeting its international obligations to address human trafficking including in relation to children. As such, prior to the release of the 2021 TIP report, the Coalition took steps to investigate the TIP 2020 report recommendations regarding The Crimes Act 1961 further.
