A/HRC/41/2 review, in 2021. New Zealand emphasized the continuing commitment of the Government to human rights and to active participation in international human rights processes. 566. The Association of World Citizens welcomed the acceptance by New Zealand to consider acceding to additional international human rights instruments. It expressed the hope that the mid-term report would also address implementation of recommendations that were not accepted because of their form rather than their content. It looked forward to a review of the age of criminal responsibility indicating that it was unacceptable that persons could be prosecuted from ages 10 and 12 and tried as an adult at 17 years of age. Though appreciating the increase in the refugee quota, it did not accept that, in any case, a person who qualified as a refugee under the Geneva Convention would not be granted asylum. Uruguay 567.
