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.
