This webinar outlines the role and proceedings of the Waitangi Tribunal, a specialized and permanent commission of inquiry in New Zealand. Its primary function is to investigate alleged breaches of te Tiriti o Waitangi or the Treaty of Waitangi. Emphasizing the thoroughness of the Tribunal’s reports, this abstract introduces the long-awaited review of the Tāngata Whaikaha - disability claim. The significance of this claim lies in its potential to address and rectify violations within the disability sector under Te Tiriti. An upcoming webinar will feature Dr. Huhana Hickey and Ruth Jones, who will provide insights into the hearing process and their evidence. Their discussion will focus on the details of the claim, the Tribunal’s review process, and strategies to ensure non-recurrence of Te Tiriti breaches in this domain.
