Finally, the powers would also be available for serious offences that are committed in New Zealand where the suspected offender or evidence of criminal offending is located on a New Zealand or foreign ship in international waters. So, for example, where a person committed a serious offence in New Zealand and fled the country by ship, the maritime powers enacted by the bill are those that New Zealand already has under international law, in particular the powers derived from the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the United Nations drugs trafficking convention, and the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime and its protocols. The bill is consistent with New Zealand's rights and obligations under those conventions and under international law more generally, including New Zealand's international human rights obligations. The key purpose of the bill is to clearly implement these international law powers in our domestic law.
