- Local and Global Women's Rights in the Pacific
-
This article reflects on the discussions by women living in the Pacific (from Fiji Islands, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu) who attended the Association for Women's rights in Development Forum. These small island countries of the South Pacific are usually unknown entities to the women's movement globally. Yet, as the author shows, many of their specific local issues are integrally linked to global concerns. (Vanessa Griffen, Development Journal no.49, Society for International Development, 2006)

The report covers the legislative, judicial, administrative or other measures adopted in the review period that give effect to the provisions of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in the period 2000-2005. It notes: social and economic disparities between Maori and Pacific peoples and non-Maori; low representation of Maori women in a number of key sectors and their particular vulnerability to domestic violence; disproportionately high representation of Maori and Pacific peoples in correctional facilities; the need for the facilitation of the institution of criminal proceedings against those accused of incitement to racial hatred; the need for more extensive information on compliance with article 4, paragraph 15, of the Convention; concerns over New Zealand's detention of asylum-seekers and treatment of Special Measures; the need for inclusion of human rights obligations in any new constitutional arrangements for Tokelau; and the need for implementation of the Durban Declaration and Programme (global) of Action.
