据2021年6月18日新西兰新闻秘书处消息,
新西兰66岁的收养法正在审查中,公众参与从今天开始。
司法部长克里斯·法福伊说:”政府正在就修改我们的收养法和制度的方案征求意见。
自1955年以来,《收养法》基本保持不变。我们需要我们的收养法来反映当代新西兰的价值观和需求″。
克里斯·法福伊说:”收养对有关儿童具有重大和终生的影响,因此我们的法律应该以儿童的权利为核心″。
司法部今天在新西兰奥特奥塔罗亚发布了一份讨论文件,以帮助人们提交审查报告。公众咨询从今天开始,一直持续到8月31日。与特定社区,包括受收养影响的人,有针对性地参与,将与公众参与同时进行。
公众的反馈和想法将有助于政府制定修改收养法的建议。
部长表示;在我们的《宣言》中,我们承诺审查收养法并删除歧视性条款。这项审查履行了这一承诺,并将是一个机会,确保人们在收养之前、期间和之后获得充分的支持和信息。
特别是,政府正在就六个关键问题征求意见,包括收养内容和参与者、收养的文化方面(包括whöngai)、收养过程在新西兰和海外如何运作、收养的影响以及收养过程在代孕儿童出生时有效。
讨论文件和以可访问格式翻译和制作的摘要文件现在可在司法部网站上查阅,以及关于如何提交材料的信息:www。justice.govt.nz/adoption-law-reform
政府将在完成提交材料并根据我们从人民那里听到的情况制定一套改革政策建议后,开始第二轮接触。
去年,政府将代孕的单独审查提交特阿卡·马图阿·奥特·图雷|法律委员会,虽然对收养法的审查将不包括一般代孕问题,但它将考虑如何改进目前通过代孕出生的儿童的收养程序。司法部和法律委员会正在就收养和代孕审查中共同关心的问题进行合作。
Starting today, the government is seeking public opinions on the “New Zealand Adoption Law”
Adoption laws under review
New Zealand’s 66-year-old adoption laws are being reviewed, with public engagement beginning today.
Justice Minister Kris Faafoi said the Government is seeking views on options for change to our adoption laws and system.
“The Adoption Act has remained largely the same since 1955. We need our adoption laws to reflect the values and needs of contemporary New Zealand,” Kris Faafoi said.
“Adoption has significant and lifelong effects on the children involved, so our laws should have the rights of children at their heart.
“The Ministry of Justice today released Adoption in Aotearoa New Zealand, a discussion document to assist people in submitting on the review. Public consultation starts today and will run until 31 August. Targeted engagement with specific communities, including people affected by adoption, will run alongside public engagement.
“Feedback and ideas from the public will help the Government develop proposals for changes to adoption laws.
“In our Manifesto we committed to reviewing adoption laws and removing discriminatory provisions. This review fulfils that commitment, and will be an opportunity to ensure adequate support and information is available to people before, during and after an adoption.
In particular, the Government is seeking views on six key issues, including what is adoption and who is involved, cultural aspects of adoption (including whāngai), how the adoption process works in New Zealand and offshore, the impacts of adoption, and the adoption process works where a child is born by surrogacy.
The discussion document, and summary document which has been translated and produced in accessible formats, are available now on the Ministry of Justice website along with information on how to make a submission at: www.justice.govt.nz/adoption-law-reform
“The Government will embark on a second round of engagement after working through submissions and developing a set of policy proposals for reform based on what we hear from people.”
Last year the Government referred a separate review of surrogacy to Te Aka Matua o te Ture | the Law Commission. While the review of adoption laws will not include general surrogacy issues, it will consider ways to improve the current adoption process where a child is born by surrogacy. The Ministry of Justice and the Law Commission are working together on the issues of common interest in the adoption and surrogacy reviews.
