The Waitangi Tribunal
The Waitangi Tribunal is a standing commission of inquiry. It makes recommendations on claims brought by Māori relating to legislation, policies, actions or omissions of the Crown that are alleged to breach the promises made in the Treaty of Waitangi.
Waitangi Tribunal Launches Strategic Direction 2025–2035
The new strategic direction sustains the Tribunal’s comprehensive approach by providing inquiry pathways for all claims yet to be heard. The Tribunal’s district and kaupapa (thematic) inquiry programmes will cover most of the claims. Complementing them will be two standing panel inquiries into claims with remaining historical and contemporary issues respectively.
