New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern announced on Monday a royal
commission, a powerful form of public inquiry, into the events leading
up to a March 15 attack on two mosques in Christchurch that killed 50
people.
“It is important that no stone is left unturned to get to the bottom of how this act of terrorism occurred and what, if any, opportunities we had to stop it,” Ardern told at Parliament House in the capital, Wellington.
Royal commissions are independent inquiries and are usually reserved for matters of the greatest public importance. Ardern said such an inquiry was an appropriate response to the attack but declined to give a timeframe while her government finalised the terms of reference.
