Hague Convention Consultation Paper - Ministry for Culture and Heritage
The Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict, 1954: Consultation Paper
In 1954, New Zealand signed the Hague Convention on the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict. The New Zealand Government is considering the case for New Zealand to ratify the Convention and accede to its two Protocols.
As part of this project, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage is seeking public input. A public consultation paper and questionnaire has been prepared and sent to all libraries, museums, archives, iwi, and owners of Category 1 historic places, among others.

Auckland Mayor Dick Hubbard explains the most significant change proposed in the revised management plan is restricted vehicle access to the summit area and the promotion of pedestrian access.
"Restrictions to vehicle access will only be put in place when a sustainable, minimal impact transport system is established, to ensure everyone can continue to enjoy open access to the summit," he says.
