The Commission's vision
Pae tawhiti: Kia whanake ngā ture o Aotearoa mā te arotake motuhake
Vision: Better law for Aotearoa New Zealand through independent review
Operating in the wider justice sector, the Commission contributes to a unified value-based government for all New Zealanders. The Commission works across agencies, offering its law reform capacity where needed, and plays a leading role as the only independent law reform body in Aotearoa New Zealand. Through its law reform recommendations and advice, the Commission helps to improve confidence that our laws support a modern democracy, an efficient economy and a just society. The Commission makes a positive difference to people’s lives, promoting better law that improves their current and future wellbeing. The independence of the Commission allows it to approach each law reform task with an open mind, undertake wide-ranging engagement and consultation, consider the broader policy context and advise or recommend how to achieve better law for Aotearoa New Zealand. In this way, the Commission contributes significantly to the justice sector of Aotearoa New Zealand.
