The casc concerning Certain Phosphate Lands In Nauru (Nauru v. Austrnliu) , entered on the Court's General List on 19 May 1989 under Number 80' was the subjcct of a Judgment delivered on 26 June 1992 (Ceriain Phosphute Lands in Nauru (Nauru v. Aus t mlia), Preliminary Objeclions, Judgme?~~,L C I Reports 1992, p. 240). The case was removed from thc List by an Order of 13 September 1993, following discontinuance by agreement of the Parties (Certain Phosphnte Lunds in Nauru (Nauru v. Ausirnliu), I. C.1 Reports 1993, p. 322). The pleadings in the case are being published in the following order : Volume 1. Application instituting proceedings of Nauru; Mernorial of Nauru. Volume Il. Prelirninary objections of Australia; written statement of Nauru on the preliminary objections. Volumc III. Counter-Mernorial of Australia; oral arguments on the prelirninary objections; written replies to questions, selection of correspondence; docu- ment submitted to the Court. Regarding the: reproduction of case files, the Cours has decided that hence- forth, irrespective of the stage al which a casc has terminated, publication should be confined to the written proceedings and oral arguments in the case, together with those documents, annexes and correspondence considcrcd essential to illus- trate its decision. The Court has also specifically requested that, whenevcr tech- nically feasible, the volumes should consist of facsirnite versions of the docu- ments submitted to it, in the form in which they were produccd by the parties. Accordingly, ceriain documents rcproduced in the present volume have beeii photographed from their original presentation For case of use, in addition ta the norinal continuous pagination, wherever neccssary this volume also contains, bctween square brackets on the inner margin of the pages, the original pagination of the pleadings regroduced and occasionally, within parenlheses, the paginatioti of the original document. In references by the Rcgistry, bold Roman numerals are used to refer to Vol- umes of this edition. if they are irnnicdiately followed by a page reference, ihis rclates to the new paginaiion of ihe Volumc in questjon. On the other hand. ihe page nurnbcrs which are preceded by a reference io one of the pleadings relate to the original pagination of that pleading and accordingly refer to the bracketed pagination of tlie docunlcnt in question. In the case of the oral arguments, the original pàgination 1s preceded by the number of the verbaliin records as issued in a provisional duplicaied form aiid carrying the rcference CR911-- and it is also to the corresponding pagination between squarc brackcts on the inner margin of the pagcs that onc should refer for al1 cross-referenccs.

An Afghan national who was rescued at sea was taken by Royal Australian Navy ship to Nauru. His application for refugee status in Australia was rejected by the Commonwealth Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs. In Nauru he was placed in a camp and issued with a special purpose visa restricting his place of residence and movement. He was refused a writ of habeas corpus in the Supreme Court of Nauru in proceedings in which he claimed that he was held at the camp against his will by or on behalf of the Director of Police of Nauru. He appealed from the decision of the Supreme Court to the High Court under s 5 of the Nauru (High Court Appeals) Act 1976 (Cth) which provided for “appeals” from the Supreme Court of Nauru to the High Court in accordance with the terms of an agreement in 1976 between the Commonwealth of Australia and the Republic of Nauru.

  • Nauru Legal Sources
    Nauru Legal Sources Peter H. MacSpo"an Solicitor, Black Rock, Victoria Law Library Resources in Nauru When I first went to Nauru as Senior Legal Officer in October 1970, I found a department with a very small library and a Court with nothing.. Indeed, my own set of ALJ and various texts exceeded the departmental library.. That changed quite quickly as the new Chief Justice, Ian Thompson, began to make his presence felt Between us we laid the basis for a comprehensive collection. He concentrated on getting law reports and an air-<:onditioned room for the collection while I, in the department, concentrated on texts and legislation.. In a very short time the Supreme Court Library (which was then under the day to day supervision of Brian Bousfield, Resident Magistrate and Registrar of the Supreme Court) was built up from nothing to an impressively comprehensive source of law reports and legislation. We obtained a full set of the Law Reports and the English Reports, the All England Reports, Commonwealth Law Reports, Victorian, Queensland, Western Australian and New Zealand Law Reports. In addition we acquired Halsbury' s Laws and Statutes of England, the English and Empire Digest, and the Criminal Law Journal In the department we commenced to build up our· international law texts and reports and obtained as much as possible in connection with aviation, crime, banking, companies, civil procedure and so on .. Today the pictur·e is not as happy as it was. For reasons which are none too clear, the library sometime recently ceased to be supplemented with new volumes and it seems that subscriptions have lapsed leaving law reports lost and forlorn at about 1988 and texts often well out of date (although, to be fair, it is clear that since I lived and worked there much had been done to improve the range and depth of text material in the Department).

  • Nauru and the Rule of Law
    1 Select Committee on the Recent Allegations relating to Conditions and Circumstances at the Regional Processing Centre in Nauru Submission from the Hon Geoffrey M Eames AM QC Nauru and the Rule of Law In December 2010 I was appointed Chief Justice of the Republic of Nauru by President Marcus Steven. I held that position until I resigned on 13 March 2014. My resignation was forced, because the Nauru government of President Baron Waqa MP had revoked my visa, thus making it impossible for me to perform the role of Chief Justice. The actions of the Nauru government constituted a series of flagrant breaches of the Rule of Law. The fact that the government is not committed to the Rule of Law should be a matter of concern to the Australian government. Removal of an independent judiciary Resident Magistrate and Registrar of the Supreme Court, Peter Law, was arrested on 19 January 2014, forced on to an aeroplane and deported under police escort. No reasons were given to him by the government for this extraordinary action. The reasons, however, are now very clear – Mr Law had offended the Minister for Justice and Border Control, Mr David Adeang, by making interim orders, as Registrar, restraining the unlawful deportation of two expatriate businessmen, an Australian, Rod Henshaw, and a Fijian, Mohammed Haneef. The Resident Magistrate granted the applicants leave to commence judicial review proceedings. David Adeang, was incensed by Peter Law’s orders because he believed, wrongly, that under legislative amendments to the Immigration Act 1999 that had been steered through Parliament by him in December 2013, non-citizens could be deported without notice, or grounds, and were denied the right to review his decisions in the courts.

    THE NAURU ELEGIES By Paul D. Miller THE NAURU ELEGIES THE NAURU ELEGIES NAURU All Money is a matter of belief Adam Smith, Book III, An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of The Wealth of Nations 1776 In the realm of the senses, finance doesn’t count for much. It’s hard to quantify emotions and the nuanced complexities of human perception. Since antiquity, governments, emperors, presidents, prime ministers, kings and queens have set up bankers, traders and investors with special extra-territorial zones that create respite from the norms of regulations and import-export tax regimes and in return have asked for a steady stream of highly valued revenue for the public purse. On the other hand, human behavior in large numbers has all the hallmarks of what both mathematicians and behavioral economists like to call “emergent complexity” - we think, live, and exist in a world of numbers. And economics, the “dismal science” is a reflection of when we attempt to assign value to human activity. “Extra-territoriality” is a kind of no-place that mirrors early ideas of “eu- topos” (the operative word, topos, meaning land/scape): it’s a kind of place that could only exist in the absence of contingencies - at the interplay of the “special economic zone” and the “core” there is a mirror process of an extended choreography of storage and retrieval. It’s important to think of the broad contours of this structure as a repetoire of effects whose moving parts constitute an hyper abstract machinery of commerce whose core elements are derived from global trade routes and their interaction with the digital “network economy.” Before modernity, “extra-territorial” domains were concentrated in the Mediterranean basin, because of the many nations that competed for limited resources near Delos in Greco- Roman times, and in Venice, Genoa, Luxembourg and Marseilles during the Middle Ages.
