About the New Zealand Council for Civil Liberties

  1. The New Zealand Council for Civil Liberties (‘the Council’) is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation which advocates to promote human rights and maintain civil liberties.

Correcting Injustice

  1. The Council has long opposed the Citizenship (Western Samoa) Act 1982, which we have described as unjust and racist.
  2. Therefore the Council supports the Restoring Citizenship Removed By Citizenship (Western Samoa) Act 1982 Bill.
