The Human Rights Commission (''Te Kāhui Tika Tangata'' in Maori) is the national human rights institution (NHRI) in New Zealand. It is funded through the Ministry of Justice, but operates independently of the New Zealand Government. It applies and enforces the Human Rights Act 1993, a New Zealand statute outlawing particular kinds of discrimination. The Commission was formed in 1977, and currently functions under the Human Rights Act 1993. The Office of the Race Relations Conciliator was made part of the Commission in 2001. The Commission works to educate New Zealanders, publish information, investigate human rights abuses, and resolve disputes over rights and discrimination related issues. The Commission's current chair is David Rutherford. The other commissioners are Dame Susan Devoy (Race Relations Commissioner), Dr Jackie Blue (EEO Commissioner), Paul Gibson (Disability Rights Commissioner), Karen Johansen and Richard Tankersley; Jeremy Pope served until his death in August 2012. ==Race Relations== The 1993 Act transformed the previous ''Race Relations Conciliator'' into a ''Race Relations Commissioner''.
