Summary: "From 3 November to 17 December 2010, a draft report on New Zealand's implementation of the Convention was available for public feedback. This was the first time New Zealand had to report to the United Nations about implementing the Convention. The first report acts as a baseline report, which means future reports will be compared against it. The report had information in it about our laws and if they work well for disabled people. It tells the United Nations how well disabled people are doing compared to other New Zealanders and if they are treated fairly or less well because of their disability. It also tells the United Nations what the New Zealand Government has been doing to improve this, and what it plans to do." - PUBLISHERS WEBSITE
