Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol

105: Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol to have force of law

You could also call this:

"New Zealand follows special international rules about planes"

In New Zealand, the rules set out in the Cape Town Convention and Aircraft Protocol are treated like official laws. This means that these international agreements about aircraft and related equipment are just as important as other New Zealand laws. However, New Zealand may have said it wants to follow only certain parts of these agreements. In that case, only those parts become law in New Zealand.
