New Zealand’s justice and legal system protects individual rights and freedoms, sets out what is unacceptable and the penalties for breaking the law, and enforces the rules around how our country is governed.
The Ministry strives to achieve 3 outcomes:
- Safer communities
- Increased trust in the justice system
- Maintain the integrity of our constitutional arrangements
The Ministry is the only agency in New Zealand’s public sector that works across all three arms of government: we work for the executive and the legislature, and we also support the independent judiciary.
