You could also call this:
"New Zealand's plan to keep its promises to protect children's rights"
The strategy is meant to help New Zealand meet its international obligations about children.
You can think of international obligations like promises New Zealand has made to other countries about how it will treat children.
New Zealand has made promises under the UNCROC and the UNCRPD, which are like agreements between countries to protect children's rights.
New Zealand has obligations relating to children under these agreements, and the strategy is intended to help meet those obligations.
The strategy is connected to New Zealand's promises under the UNCROC and the UNCRPD.

The UNCROC and UNCRPD are international agreements that New Zealand is a part of, and they outline how countries should protect children's rights.
You can find more information about the laws that amended this part of the legislation by looking at the Children's Amendment Act 2018.
This law is part of New Zealand's efforts to meet its international obligations about children.
