Pacific Forum leaders

Vanuatu confident of support for climate change court action

Regional heads of government will convene in Suva next week for the 51st Forum Leaders Meeting - their first face-to-face gathering since 2019.

The Forum Foreign Ministers meeting took place on Friday, ahead of the leaders' meeting starting on Monday.

Pacific leaders must protect sovereign digital rights

That's the view of the Pacific Network on Globalisation, or PANG, which said the strategy, commissioned by the Forum last year, denies Pacific countries their sovereign right to manage their digital domains, including data.

PANG has now released a new critique of the strategy, written by emeritus law professor at Auckland University, Jane Kelsey.

She said the Pacific needs strategies that are by, and for, the region.
