Judge Tony Fitzgerald is a New Zealand District Court Judge with a Youth Court designation and a Family Court warrant. Judge Fitzgerald has been incorporating articles of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities in his judgements, taking to heart the demands placed on officers of the court by the 2019 legislation. He will refer to some of these judgements in his presentation, showing how the CRC and CRPD enhances the judicial process. In his talk he will touch on the challenge of engaging lawyers in using the CRC and other human rights instruments in their arguments in his Court as well as wider systemic issues.

We recognise their lands were never ceded, and we acknowledge their struggles for recognition and rights and pay our respects to the Elders – past, present – and the youth who are working towards a brighter tomorrow. This continent always was and always will be Aboriginal land.
