    Marama Davidson September 19, 2018 12:57 PM

  • New Zealand cannot tolerate US incarceration of children

    Golriz Ghahraman June 20, 2018 11:50 AM
    The treatment of migrant children and families at the United States border is heart-breaking and intolerable. The Green Party calls on the New Zealand Government to condemn this egregious breach of human rights. “The mass detention of children and separation from their families as a part of immigration policy is unacceptable,” says Golriz Ghahraman, Green Party human rights spokesperson. “It is abhorrent to do it as a way to ‘deter’ their parents from seeking asylum or migrating to the United...

    Marama Davidson May 15, 2018 11:14 AM

  • Govt should show compassion and resettle Australian refugees

    Marama Davidson August 18, 2016 11:14 AM
    John Key needs to do the right thing and offer to resettle refugees and asylum seekers from Australian detention centres, the Green Party said today. Australia and Papua New Guinea confirmed yesterday that the Manus Island detention centre will close but offered no details on when, or what will happen to the people currently detained there. “Every day that these camps remain open is another day that people are living in limbo, facing abuse by guards and inhumane living conditions,”...

  • Govt silence on child abuse in Nauru is shameful

    Marama Davidson August 11, 2016 9:47 AM
    National needs to show some moral backbone and speak out on the abuse of children held by the Australian Government in Nauru detention centres, the Green Party said today. Documents published yesterday by the Guardian show the horrific scale of abuse in offshore detention centres on Nauru, where asylum seekers trying to reach Australia are being detained. “It’s appalling that the National Government refuses to condemn the suffering that children fleeing war and persecution are experiencing under the Australian Government’s watch,”...

    James Shaw February 19, 2016 10:11 AM

  • TPPA clashes with human rights and international law

    James Shaw February 04, 2016 10:38 AM
    The latest critique of the TPPA, as an old fashioned agreement inconsistent with human rights, is a timely warning that the signing of the deal in Auckland today is not in the interests of New Zealanders, the Green Party said. United Nations Human Rights Council Independent Expert Professor Alfred de Sayas has issued a statement explaining how the ‘outdated’ TPPA is ‘fundamentally flawed and should not be signed or ratified unless provision is made to guarantee the regulatory space of...

  • ​China’s ‘assurances’ not good enough for extradition

    Marama Davidson December 16, 2015 11:15 AM
    Minister of Justice Amy Adams should not extradite a New Zealand resident to China because she can’t rely on that Government’s assurances that it will not subject him to torture or the death penalty, the Green Party says.
