Keynote speakers confirmed are:
- Justice Antonin Scalia, Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA
- Justice Ian Binnie, Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada
- Professor Nadine Strossen, President of the American Civil Liberties Union, Professos or Law at New York School of Law

In simple terms it is about how diverse peoples in NZ can live together, whether the constitution we have is suitable, and what sorts of changes if any are required. The focus will be on the constitution and rights - rights of individual and rights of groups (such as Maori and other minorities). It will also address issues such as whether there is a danger of too much emphasis on rights, and whether too much hope is placed in legal institutions to protect them." | | Organisation | Hague Conference Co-ordinating Group |
