In [[Law of New Zealand|New Zealand law]] and politics, the '''principles of the Treaty of Waitangi''' ({{Lang-mi|ngā mātāpono o te tiriti}}) are a set of principles derived from, and interpreting, the [[Treaty of Waitangi]]. These principles were codified in 1987, partly an attempt to reconcile the different Māori and English language versions of the treaty, and allow the application of the treaty to a contemporary context.<ref name="ChapmanTripp">{{cite web | url=http://www.chapmantripp.com/publications/Pages/What-are-the-principles-of-the-Treaty-of-Waitangi-What-should-the-law-do-about-them.aspx |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150206035142/https://chapmantripp.com/publications/Pages/What-are-the-principles-of-the-Treaty-of-Waitangi-What-should-the-law-do-about-them.aspx| title=What are the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi?
