tika tangata
1. (noun) human rights.
Kāore he kaupapa ture ā-tuhi tō Aotearoa hei tiaki i ngā tika o te tangata. Heoi he maha kē atu ngā tika tangata ka taka ki raro mai i ngā ture tuku iho o Ingarangi, me ngā ture tonu o tēnei motu (ngā ture mō ngā tika tangata me te aukati i te pana tangata) (Te Ara 2013). / New Zealand does not have a written constitution which guarantees people's rights. But there are many human rights that fall under laws inherited from Britain and the laws of this country (which set out human rights and outlaw discrimination).
