Abstract
This recommendation paper is published in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand recently entering public consultation for regulating modern slavery in supply chains. It provides direction for a legislative design that is compliant with international developments and, at the same time, considers Aotearoa New Zealand’s geopolitical and cultural context. It is not a response to the Government’s consultation proposal, but rather an independent resource, setting out recommendations based on research and the authors’ modern slavery law and practice expertise.
The recommendations are a resource for companies, governments, non-government organisations, academics and civil society, including to assist with submissions that these entities may wish to make
as part of the national consultation process. The following recommendations are made with an understanding that the Treaty of Waitangi/Te Tiriti o Waitangi principles are ensured and a Te Ao
Māori perspective is considered in any future legislative and policy developments in this area.
