Abstract
This paper assesses New Zealand’s immigration policy towards victims of human trafficking, adopting a human rights approach to determining best practice. Nine principles of a human rights approach are identified. In assessing New Zealand’s immigration policy, a number of gaps are identified, which result in breaches of the nine principles. To remedy these defects, two changes are recommended.
