A United Nations committee has warned New Zealand is at serious risk of weakening Māori rights and entrenching disparities for the Indigenous population, in its most critical review of the country’s record on racial discrimination.
Last month, the UN’s committee for the convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination (CERD) examined New Zealand’s record as part of its eight year review cycle for signatories to the convention.
Its 14-page report, released on 5 December, expressed concerns over multiple government policies affecting Māori, including the disestablishment of the Māori Health Authority, cuts to public funding for Māori services and minimising the role of the Treaty of Waitangi – the country’s founding document that is instrumental in upholding Māori rights – in schools and governance arrangements.
So the peeps claiming to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination are against the abolition of racist discriminations? That the Maori do not have a separate but equal health care thing is racist discrimination rather than the removal of it?
And there is why we should pay the UN no mind….
As a rule of thumb, any organisation that includes the role of “secretary general” should be ignored
We should welcome this report as Jacinda Ahern’s legacy.
I remember a woman from Dunedin telling me that she’d never seen a Maori until she went to the North Island for her nursing training. She sounded almost wistful.
In a pub in the North Island strangers urged us not to travel to **** because it was a violent place full of Maoris.
I have the general impression that the politicisation/radicalisation of Maori-dom has lowered the opinion that white (and yellow) Kiwis have of them. Well, that and the huge influx of (Polynesian) “islanders” into the country, whom even an ignorant twat couldn’t conceivably classify as “indigenous”.
“a trailhead full of Maoris”
I’m old enough to remember the South African rugby team refused to play a Maori team. This was after the fall of apartheid and the holier than thou officials were keen to spread the doctrine of non-racism and hence objected to a team picked by race.
Of course, non-racism didn’t last long once they realised they could grift off whitey
The ‘non-racists’ in Oz have similar opinions.
Of course the white, white skins of some abos do imply that their self-interest may be more direct.
AIUI the original Abos had among the darkest skins of any humans. Now, some are indistinguishable from Whitey.
Might these people be considered homeopathic Abos? Because they seem to have a similar dilution.
The Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tint.
This sounds like something from Monty Python:
committee for the convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination (CERD
Any organization that has time or resources for this type of BS definitely needs a severe reduction in funding.
These people are one world government scum intent on destroying all nations, especially those with western and particularly Anglocentric traditions, because they are by far the strongest nations.
It’s why they created ‘racism’ as a divider, it’s why everything they do is aimed at division – divide and rule is their plan. They have all but destroyed the western family, religion, education and economy and they plan to build back better from the rubble.
Better for them, that is.
Nothing like having people 8,000 miles away telling you how you should be living.
Nothing like taking human rights advice from China and Myanmar. The whole UN is well past its ‘best by’ date – toss it on the scrap heap.
