Children's rights in New Zealand
The rights of children living in New Zealand are secured through various pieces of legislation. These include the Children's Commissioner Act 2003 (CCA), and the Children, Young Persons, and Their Families Act 1989 (CYPFA), the Care of Children Act 2004, the Education Act 1989, the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZBORA), the Crimes Act 1961, the Human Rights Act 1993, the Privacy Act 1993, and the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). The laws and policies comply with the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC), which New Zealand ratified on 6 April 1993.〔("Ratification status of New Zealand of United Nations treaties" ), "Office for the High Commissioner for Human Rights." Retrieved 5/1/14.〕
In New Zealand a person is considered a child or "minor" until the age of 20. On reaching this "age of majority" the person is no longer a child in the eyes of the law, and has all the rights and obligations of an adult.〔(Age of Majority Act 1970, s 4 ), "New Zealand Legislation." Retrieved 5/3/14.〕 There are laws to protect young people from harm they may be subject to due to their lack of maturity. Some legal age restrictions are lifted below the age of majority, trusting that a child of a certain age is equipped to deal with the potential harm.〔Pawson, M. and Peters, L. ''Youth and the law : a comprehensive guide to the law relating to young people from birth to adulthood.'' Educational Resources. p. 9.〕 For example, a 16-year-old may leave school; an 18-year-old may buy alcohol.
