A/HRC/26/3 the Victims’ Orders Against Violent Offenders Bill, and the Taskforce for Action on Violence within Families. 121. Responding to the intervention of Brazil on bullying, New Zealand advised that it was bringing forward a Harmful Digital Communications Bill that created a new civil enforcement regime to deal with harmful digital communications such as cyberbullying. 122. New Zealand was considering becoming party to the International Convention for the Protection of All Persons from Enforced Disappearance. The New Zealand Cabinet would consider whether to sign the Convention in 2014. 123. The Canterbury earthquakes had been one of the most significant challenges faced by any New Zealand government. Since the first earthquake in September 2010, there had been more than 11,000 in the Canterbury region, which included the country’s second largest city, Christchurch. The earthquakes were so severe that the ground had liquefied in some areas. The estimated earthquake damage was $NZ 40 billion, equivalent to 20 per cent of GDP. It was a devastating event for a small country and New Zealand was grateful for the substantial international assistance received from a number of countries. 124. The earthquakes presented challenges regarding the restoration of people’s dignity and fundamental rights. The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority had been established in response to the earthquakes and the Government Recovery Strategy included provisions for economic, social, and cultural recovery and for the built and natural environment. 125. Responding to an advance question from Spain, New Zealand acknowledged the trauma experienced by Cantabrians. The Government had delivered short-term counselling services; increased community health, alcohol and drug services; initiated an extensive health promotion marketing campaign; provided resilience and stress-management training for health, social service and education workforces; and provided mental health services in schools to support children and young people. Those services were ongoing. 126. The New Zealand Human Rights Commission was currently preparing the Second Action Plan on Human Rights, a key human rights policy document that would identify issues to consider over the forthcoming five years. The timing of the document had been calibrated so that recommendations from the Universal Periodic Review could inform the Second Action Plan. 127. New Zealand thanked the President of the Human Rights Council and noted that the Government would carefully consider all recommendations before responding formally. II.
