The empha- sis is on objective description of the nation's present society and the kinds of possible or probable changes that might be expected in the future. The handbook seeks to present as full and as balanced an integrated exposition as limitations on space and research time per- mit. It was compiled from information available in openly pub- lished material. An extensive bibliography is provided to permit recourse to other published sources for more detailed information. There has been no attempt to express any specific point of view or to make policy recommendations. The contents of the handbook represent the work of the authors and FAS and do not represent the official view of the United States government. An effort has been made to make the handbook as comprehensive as possible. It can be expected, however, that the material, inter- pretations, and conclusions axe subject to modification in the light of new information and developments. Such corrections, additions, and suggestions for factual, interpretive, or other change as readers may have will be welcomed for use in future revisions. Comments may be addressed to: The Director Foreign Area Studies The American University 5010 Wisconsin Avenue, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20016 ill PREFACE Defined in widest terms Oceania is a groupof islands in the Pa- cific Ocean spread over about a thirdof the earth's surface, When this study was prepared, it wasoriginally to include only those portions of Oceania within the scopeof the South Pacific Commis- sion not administered by the UnitedStates. Subsequently it was decided to prepare studies, in broad terms, onGuam, American Samoa, and the Trust Territory of thePacific Islands and include them as supplemental chapters within thisvolume. References in the main body of this handbook to the scopeof the study and to the Summary and Glossary are tothe scope originally planned, embodying only non-American areas. Guamand American Samoa are under United Statessovereignty, while the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands is administered atthe election of the United States government as a United Nations Trust. Apart from the American-administeredislands, the main study covers the remaining portionof Oceania that falls within the scope of the South Pacific Commission. Withthis portion are four inde- pendent states and a dozen other politicalentities, dependent in varying degrees on Australia, NewZealand, the United Kingdom, France and the United States. Theindependent states are Western Samoa, Nauru, Tonga and Fiji. Fiji gainedindependence on Octo- ber 10, 1970, after research and writing for thishandbook had been completed. The term Oceania sometimesrefers to the land areas of the south-central Pacific. At other times it isconsidered to include all islands between Asia and North and SouthAmerica. Usually, how- ever, the Ryukyu andAleutian islands, as well as the Japanese archipelago, are not thought of as beingincluded. Ordinarily, also, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Taiwan areregarded as a part of the Asian mainland. In this handbook Australia and NewZealand, the principal large sovereignties of the area, are excluded.The scope therefore is lim- ited mainly to most of Melanesia, mostof Polynesia, and a few islands ordinarily grouped as part of Micronsia,which is mainly the United States-administered Trust Territoryof the Pacific Islands. Characteristics in common between variousentities have been noted, and major illustrative exampleshave been described in some detail. The purpose has been to givethe reader a feeling for the general nature of the area rather thanto furnish a compendium of factual material supported bystatistics. It is intended that anyone who wishes to learn more in depth about the separate entities will be able to avail himself of the extensive bibliography that the hand- book provides. Within these limitations, an effort has been made to deal with the major political, social, economic, and military trends of the area. Those considered primarily reflect conditions since World War H, but some historical background is included tfacilitate interpreta- tion of the more recent trends. Wherever possible, official government publications have been used as the source of transliteration for the many languages and dialects of the area. Those terms that have become part of the English language, such as the many Polynesian words introduced 4rough Hawaii, are treated as English, whereas less familiar words and phrases are italicized to indicate their indigenous forms. For English words and place names, Webster's Third New International Dictionary (inabridged) has been used as the authority. SUMMARY 1. AREA AND GOVERNMENT: Consists generally of Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Apart from United States-administered territories there are sixteen political entities. Three of theseWest- ern Samoa, Nauru, and Tongawere independent by mid-1970, and a fourth, Fiji, was due for independence in the fall of the same year. The others were associated in varying degrees of dependency with Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain, and France. 2. POPULATION: In 1970 estimated at 4 million. 3. SIZE: Spread over about one-third of the earth's surface; broken into relatively small land areasin most cases a few square miles, with the Territory of Papua and the Trust Territory of New Guinea the largest excFptions. 4. TOPOGRAPHY: Divided generally between high- and low-island groups and between continental and oceanic islands. Included are volcanic islands and coral atolls, sometimes separated by vast ex- panses of water. sometimes closely grouped. 5. LANGUAGES: English, French, and pidgin (a corruption of English) are widely used. In most areas local variants of the Ma- layo-Polynesian language group are spoken, but as many as 700 distinctly different languages and dialects are estimated to be in use within Melanesia. 6. RELIGION: Christianity has gained general dominance with sup- port from colonial powers. Many forms of animism, frequently shaped by outside influences, continue to be practiced. Other reli- gions, brought from outside the area by Asian resident groups, in- clude Buddhism. Hinduism, Confucianism, and Islam. 7. EDUCATION: Varies in accordance with policies of administer- ing powers, but in most places schooling is mainly elementary_ Vari- ous systems first instigated by missionary groups and follow French and British models in most cases.

NUMBER 1707 FEBRUARY 1 9, 1955 Notes on the Birds of Northern Melanesia. 31 Passeres BY ERNST MAYR The present paper continues the revisions of birds from northern Melanesia and is devoted to the Order Passeres. The literature on the birds of this area is excessively scattered, and one of the functions of this review paper is to provide bibliographic references to recent litera- ture of the various species, in order to make it more readily available to new students. Another object of this paper, as of the previous install- ments of this series, is to indicate intraspecific trends of geographic varia- tion in the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands and to state for each species from where it colonized northern Melanesia. Such in- formation is recorded in preparation of an eventual zoogeographic and evolutionary analysis of the bird fauna of the area. For those who are interested in specific islands, the following re- gional bibliography (covering only the more recent literature) may be of interest: BISMARCK ARCHIPELAGO Reichenow, 1899, Mitt.

  • The Archaeology of Lapita Dispersal in Oceania
    The archaeology of Lapita dispersal in Oceania pers from the Fourth Lapita Conference, June 2000, Canberra, Australia / Terra Australis reports the results of archaeological and related research within the south and east of Asia, though mainly Australia, New Guinea and Island Melanesia — lands that remained terra australis incognita to generations of prehistorians. Its subject is the settlement of the diverse environments in this isolated quarter of the globe by peoples who have maintained their discrete and traditional ways of life into the recent recorded or remembered past and at times into the observable present. Since the beginning of the series, the basic colour on the spine and cover has distinguished the regional distribution of topics, as follows: ochre for Australia, green for New Guinea, red for Southeast Asia and blue for the Pacific islands. From 2001, issues with a gold spine will include conference proceedings, edited papers, and monographs which in topic or desired format do not fit easily within the original arrangements. All volumes are numbered within the same series. List of volumes in Terra Australis Volume 1: Burrill Lake and Currarong: coastal sites in southern New South Wales. R.J.

  • International Law Limits on Investor Liability in Human Rights Litigation
    \\server05\productn\H\HLI\50-2\HLI204.txt unknown Seq: 1 25-JUN-09 7:36 VOLUME 50, NUMBER 2, SUMMER 2009 International Law Limits on Investor Liability in Human Rights Litigation Michael D. Ramsey* This Article assesses efforts in U.S. courts, principally under the federal Alien Tort Statute, to hold foreign investors indirectly liable for human rights violations committed by the governments of countries in which they do business. Such claims, though intended as remedies for international law violations, create substantial tensions with international law in two respects. First, to the extent they purport to regulate the non-U.S. activities of non-U.S. entities, they may conflict with international law principles of prescriptive jurisdiction, which limit a nation’s ability to regulate the extraterritorial activities of non-nationals. Although an exception for universal jurisdiction allows nations to punish a few especially heinous interna- tional crimes without regard to territory or citizenship, it seems difficult to establish universal jurisdiction for most indirect investor liability claims, and in any event U.S. courts appear to have lost sight of this limitation. Second, investor liability suits may misconceive the source of customary international law principles. Because customary international law arises from the actual practices of nations followed out of a sense of legal obligation, its content cannot be derived from analogies to nations’ practices in areas that are factually and normatively distinct. The only reliable evidence of nations’ practices is what nations actually have done with respect to investor liability, and there is no consistent practice of imposing indirect liability on investors for host government abuses.

Signature Date: 01/07/15 Name: Dr Eleanor John Designation: Principal Supervisor ABSTRACT Samoan volcanism is tectonically controlled and is generated by tension-stress activities associated with the sharp bend in the Pacific Plate (Northern Terminus) at the Tonga Trench. The Samoan island chain dominated by a mixture of shield and post-erosional volcanism activities. The closed basin structures of volcanoes such as the Crater Lake Lanoto enable the entrapment and retention of a near-complete sedimentary record, itself recording its eruptive history. Crater Lanoto is characterised as a compound monogenetic and short-term volcano. A high proportion of primary tephra components were found in a core extracted from Crater Lake Lanoto show that Crater Lanoto erupted four times (tephra bed-1, 2, 3, and 4).
