Prepared for publication at the Pacific Community Sub Regional Office, Suva www.spc.int 4 Human Rights in the Pacific | A Situational Analysis 2020 Foreword Human rights are a fundamental pillar of Pacific island societies. Enshrined in the region’s national laws, policies and other normative frameworks, human rights also find meaningful purchase in the culture and customs embodying the Pacific way of life. Core human rights principles such as dignity, fairness, respect, participation, non-discrimination, and the responsibilities of individuals to the community, resonate widely in the diverse tapestry of Pacific cultures. Yet the challenges before us are also numerous and acute, with multiplying inequalities and a changing environment. This situational analysis is an opportunity to reflect on human rights progress and challenges in the region. It is not a scorecard or assessment of the rights records of the countries covered but rather a window shedding light on some of the most critical issues, areas of advancement and contemporary risks. It highlights the resilience of Pacific communities and showcases promising developments including new ratifications and progress on United Nations human rights treaties, strengthened legal systems and improved access to remedies, and efforts to enhance participation of marginalised groups and individuals. With this, however, comes a disclaimer. In compiling the information, major obstacles were faced in the form of a rapidly shifting human rights landscape, precipitously reshaped by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic started out as posing a major health threat to the Pacific and has since highlighted existing and underlying structural and institutional issues. COVID presents new challenges to human rights as derogations or emergency measures are employed to prevent or contain its spread. Taking broad stock of the human rights situation in the Pacific is therefore timely. Pacific Island Countries have high vulnerability to outbreaks of communicable disease due to relatively weak health systems, the prevalence of non-communicable diseases, and social norms that are both challenging to effective prevention and conducive to rapid transmission. Governments in the region have generally responded quickly, which, combined with the region’s isolation, has meant that many of the world’s last remaining outbreak free holdouts are in the Pacific. However, there are many groups and individuals who face particular risk during this period and have little or no voice in shaping the socio-economic response and recovery effort. Women and girls, children, refugees, internally displaced persons, stateless persons, national minorities, migrant workers, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer people, persons with disability, older persons and persons living with HIV/AIDS – all face the extra burden of being historically under-represented in policy discussions. In responding to COVID-19, a careful balancing act is required to ensure that measures, including physical distancing, curfews and restrictions on movement, achieve desired public interest outcomes without adversely impacting human rights. As UN Secretary General António Guterres says, human rights should be at the centre of the pandemic response: “Human rights responses can help beat the pandemic, putting a focus on the imperative of healthcare for everyone. But they also serve as an essential warning system – highlighting who is suffering most, why, and what can be done about it.” The theme for Human Rights Day 2020 is “Recover Better – Stand Up for Human Rights”. This is a reflection on a challenging year for all of humanity as well as a forward-looking exhortation that we can and must do better than the pre-pandemic status quo. The information contained within the pages of this situational analysis compels us to drive this effort forward regionally and to realise universal human rights in the lived reality of all Pacific peoples.

This report is a comprehensive update of the 2016 report of the same name, and was again produced by the Pacific Community (SPC) through its Human Rights & Social Development (HRSD) Division, in partnership with the United Nations through its Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights Regional, Office for the Pacific (OHCHR ROP). This 2020 report would not have been possible without funding support from the Governments of Sweden and, through the Pacific Commonwealth Equality Project, United Kingdom. A number of people worked diligently to ensure this report is an accurate, fair and high quality representation of the current state of affairs of human rights in the Pacific. Aarni Seger, Albert Seluka, Amberoti Nikora, Ashley Bowe, George Isom, Dr Jayshree Mangubhai, Kathryn Relang, Martin Child, Neomai Maravuakula, Pasai Teafiula, Patricia Sango and Stella Duburiya from SPC, and staff from OHCHR ROP in Suva and the OHCHR headquarters in Geneva provided input into drafting the content of this report. Carol Nelson expertly edited their work and provided the overarching analysis, while Romulo Nayacelevu and OHCHR ROP appraised the penultimate draft and offered suggestions that informed the final version of the report. Kalpana Prasad from SPC helped shepherd the project through the editing and formatting stage. To all of them, and any others who worked on the report in some way – vinaka vakalevu for a job well done. I trust the 2020 Human Rights in the Pacific: A Situational Analysis report will make a useful contribution to the protection and promotion of human rights in the Pacific.

  • 1 Universal Periodic Review Submission for Samoa Prepared for United Nations Human Rights Council
    Universal Periodic Review Submission for Samoa Prepared for United Nations Human Rights Council: September 2015 2nd cycle of Universal Periodic Review of Samoa 25th session of the Human Rights Council (Apr-May 2016) CULTURAL SURVIVAL Cultural Survival is an international Indigenous rights organization with a global Indigenous leadership and consultative status with ECOSOC. Cultural Survival is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is registered as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization in the United States. Cultural Survival monitors the protection of Indigenous Peoples' rights in countries throughout the world and publishes its findings in its magazine, the Cultural Survival Quarterly; and on its website: www.cs.org Submitted by Cultural Survival Cultural Survival 2067 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02140 Tel: 1 (617) 441 5400 [email protected] www.culturalsurvival.org 1 I. Issue Summary: Indigenous Peoples make up roughly 90% of the Samoan population, and therefore Indigenous rights issues are cross-cutting. Samoa participated in the United Nations Small Island Developing States Conference in late 20141 and have showed efforts to maintain Indigenous livelihoods and respect Indigenous knowledge to ensure environmental sustainability. Still, Indigenous Peoples in villages around the island currently find that their well-being is hindered by unpredictable, extreme weather conditions related to the impacts of climate change. II. Background: The nation of Samoa is a small volcanic under-water mountain island in the Pacific Ocean. It is home to strong communities of predominantly Indigenous Peoples. Formerly known as Western Samoa, the small island nation is inhabited by roughly 200,000 people. The country’s capital, Apia, is home to approximately 40,000 residents and is the center for most trade and exchange in the economy.2 The rest of the country is a smattering of villages of which the majority are controlled by familial lineage as is tradition to the Samoan people.

  • 2015 State of Human Rights Report
    OFFICE OF THE OMBUDSMAN & NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTION Komesina o Sulufaiga “For Samoa, by Samoa” STATE OF HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT 2015 SUMMARY Summary In 2013, the Office of the Ombudsman became Samoa’s National Human Rights Institution (NHRI). An NHRI is an independent mechanism of national human rights protection and promotion. Pursuant to the Ombudsman (Komesina o Sulufaiga) Act2013, the NHRI has prepared Samoa’s first periodic State of Human Rights Report (SHRR). The Report discusses human rights in the Samoan context, including a brief overview of Samoa’s international human rights obligations and the rights contained within the Constitution of Samoa. Importantly, the Report discusses the relationship between Fa’asamoa and international human rights, including the relationship between individual and community rights. It also attempts to dispel misconceptions that currently exist in Samoa about the nature and purpose of human rights. Vulnerable populations are the main focus of the Report which highlights the need for better safeguards for equality and respect for women, children, people with disabilities (PWDs) and prisoners. It was clear from the research conducted that these groups are the most vulnerable in Samoan society and their basic human rights need increased protection. The report also looks at the human rights components of health to ensure that the community, family, personal and environmental health of all Samoans is adequately protected.It considers religious and economic freedom to better allow Samoans spiritual and financial fulfilment. The Report concludes with a discussion of the emerging issues of mental health and freedom of speech. These issues arose inoutreach and will be followed up with in subsequent reports as more data and dialogue is collected.

  • Foundational Concepts and Affirming Language
    Foundational Concepts & Affirming Language At Harvard University, we aim to become the world’s recognized leader in sustainable inclusive excellence by fostering a campus culture where everyone can thrive. To reach this goal, we seek to transform our community into a highly informed campus with overlapping goals and shared vocabulary which will enable all of us to advance inclusive excellence where we work, live, and learn. The Office for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging offers this glossary to serve as a resource for achieving this shared vision. This document is intended to provide a starting point for exploring key terms as they relate to diversity, equity, inclusion, oppression, identity, access, and culture. This glossary includes terms used in diversity-learning frameworks, social justice movements, and academic research. Aligned with the Office for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging mission, we hope this glossary will: • ground our discourse in mutual understanding • aid in facilitating difficult conversations and encourage constructive dialogue • hinder the spread of misinformation • and foster a campus culture where everyone can thrive This glossary of terms was formatted and adapted by the Office for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging using several resources and consulting with members of our community and the DIB Leadership Council. This is not meant to be an exhaustive listing of terminology used in our conversations about diversity and equity. Because language is a reflection of the lived experience, many of these words and terms will continue to evolve as the lived experience evolves. Even so, it is still useful to have a reference that provides basic working definitions to facilitate shared discussions.
