Fiji assessed by World Human Rights Body

Saturday, February 13, 2010

The Fiji government is now considering whether to accept the 116 recommendations made by the Human Rights Council’s working group, which reviewed Fiji’s human rights record in Geneva this week.

In his closing remark Ambassador Anasa Vocea says the working group was genuine in carrying out its work, where it didn’t finger point any of Fiji’s human rights records and also made some good advice.

However, Australia continued to point out that Fiji lacks a good human rights record as it was constantly reminded by the working group to use the appropriate terminology when referring to States.

The United Kingdom and the United States again were repeating their calls for an early return to parliamentary rule.

On the other hand, China, Russia, Mexico and the Philippines urged the international community to support the government’s roadmap to democracy.

Thirty three countries commented on Fiji’s report.
