The island was annexed by Germany in the 1880s. Its phosphate deposits began to be mined early in the 20th century by a German-British consortium. Following the outbreak of World War I, Australian forces captured the island in 1914. After the war, the League of Nations assigned a joint trustee mandate over the island to Britain, Australia, and New Zealand. During World War II Japan occupied Nauru, and after the war the island became a United Nations Trust Territory under Australia, in line with the previous League of Nations mandate. It became an independent republic in 1968. Nauru’s economy depends almost entirely on exports of phosphates, but the reserves of phosphates are near depletion. The country's long-term economic future will depend on measures to convert the mineral wealth into alternative sources of income.

The earliest Westerners to arrive came in the late 18th century. For a time, Nauru was known as "Pleasant Island," the name given to it by a British sea captain, John Fearn. German traders active in the region brought it under that nation's control in 1851. In 1886, Germany was granted the island under the Anglo-German Convention. The introduction of firearms and alcohol led to considerable internal strife. A combination of fighting and disease contributed to the deaths of nearly half of the native population by the late 19th century. Ultimately, alcohol was banned and some arms were confiscated. Germany relinquished de facto control of Nauru to Australia in 1914, when World War I broke out. In 1919, after the war, Germany formally renounced any claim to the island and the League of Nations placed Nauru under a three-way trusteeship of Australia, Britain, and New Zealand. However, Nauru was functionally administered by Australia. During World War II, Nauru was subject to significant damage from both Japanese and Allied forces. From 1942 to 1945, Japanese forces captured 1,200 Nauruans to work under extremely harsh forced labor conditions in Micronesia; only 700 of this group survived to return home. Wartime life for Nauruans staying on their island was difficult as well, due to severe shortages of food and other vital supplies. After the war, the United Nations reinstated the island's de factoadministration by Australia. Nauru remained a U.N. Trust Territory under Australian administration until it received independent status. Throughout the 1960s, negotiations were undertaken to increase local participation in the island's administration, and the Nauruans practiced a large measure of self-government by the mid- 1960s. In 1968, Nauru became an independent republic and a special (i.e., non-voting) member of the British Commonwealth. In 1999 it became a full member of the Commonwealth, and a member of the United Nations. The outstanding physiographic and economic fact about Nauru is its mineral endowment of phosphates, used for fertilizer. Phosphate mining has given the Nauruans one of the Pacific region's highest per capita incomes, but also caused substantial environmental damage. Nauru is Nauru Review 2021 Page 8 of 294 pages Nauru now on the verge of a post-phosphate era, as its phosphate reserves by most estimates would be exhausted in the coming few years. In the early 1960s, Australia attempted to negotiate a relocation of the islanders to Curtis Island, but the Nauruans refused this offer. After further negotiations, the Nauruans purchased control over phosphate operations in the country and formed the Nauru Phosphate Corporation. They hope to negotiate settlements with entities that previously profited from phosphate extraction and apply these to the restoration of the island when mining comes to an end. Note on History: In certain entries, open source content from the State Department Background Notes and Country Guides have been used. A full listing of sources is available in the Bibliography. Political Conditions Nauru's economic viability has rested upon phosphate reserves. Phosphates -- in actuality a resource derived from a 1,000-year cycle of bird droppings -- have been mined on the island since 1906. In the last century, the small Pacific island country has generated healthy revenues from this lucrative -- but finite -- resource. The phosphate supply is reaching levels of extinction in recent years and as such, the future of the people of Nauru is uncertain, and the challenge for the country's policy makers will be to determine a path of continued economic prosperity, without the benefits of this resource. In this regard, the government has tried to develop the island into an offshore financial center, imitating the success of the Bahamas and other island nations around the world that have emerged as major offshore banking centers. The government has invested in property on other islands and is attempting to develop offshore banking services. Over the course of recent years, however, offshore banking institutions and instruments have come under increasing scrunity by international bodies seeking to make international finance a more transparent system. Nauru, as a result, has been a casualty of this movement. In December 1999, four major United States banks banned dollar transactions with four Pacific island states, including Nauru. The United States Department of State issued a report identifying Nauru as a major money laundering center, used by narcotics traffickers and Russian organized crime figures. Offshore banking aside, the last few years have seen repeated changes of government. Nauru's Nauru Review 2021 Page 9 of 294 pages Nauru unsettled political situation never led to civil disturbances; the transitions were always sanctioned by parliament and occurred peacefully. President Bernard Dowiyogo took office in April 2000 for his fourth and, after a minimal hiatus, fifth stints as Nauru's top executive. Dowiyogo first served as president from 1976 to 1978. He returned to that office in 1989, and was re-elected in 1992. A vote in parliament, however, forced him to yield power to Kinza Clodumar in 1995. Dowiyogo regained the presidency when the Clodumar government fell in mid-1998. In April 2000, Rene Harris, former chairman of the Nauru Phosphate Corporation, became president as he briefly assembled support in parliament. Harris' attempt to put together an administration lasted for only a few days of parliamentary maneuvering. In the end, Harris proved unable to secure parliament's confidence, and Dowiyogo returned yet again to the presidency by the end of the month. Rene Harris was finally able to claim power as the president of Nauru in March 2001 when he was elected to the presidency by the parliament; his term was to last three years, presumably ending in 2004. The issue of the phosphate supply will likely be one of the most important considerations for the government in the next few years as the supply was forecast to be exhausted by 2003. Since Nauru imports almost everything it consumes -- including food, water and fuel -- the need to diversify the economy and to generate other sources of revenue is of paramount importance. As noted above, offshore banking has been one arena into which Nauru has traversed, however, the rewards are limited by growing concern about the ethical parameters of this business.

  • 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).

It was Marcus who started that ball rolling, when he walked in to the Hawthorn Recreation Centre at the age of 16, where the famous Hawthorn Weightlifting Club was housed. Marcus who was student at St. Bedes College, was identified as a talent through the school program – the clean & jerk - that Victoria Weightlifting was running at the time. During that period of time, over 27,000 students competed annually in the ‘clean & jerk’ program in Victoria alone. I had the privilege of coaching Marcus from 1985 onwards. He became a truly world class athlete. Winning seven gold medals, and five silver medals at the Commonwealth Games. In addition a silver medal at the Athens World championships in 1999 where he clean & jerked a magic 172.5kg in the 62kg category. At that event he was amongst the greatest weightlifters in the world at the time, Lee Maosheng (China), Sabanis Leonidas (Greece), Sevdalin Minchev (Bulgaria), Nikolai Pashlov (Croazia), Shi Zhiyoung (China), Hafiz Suleymanoglu (Turkey), Yurik Sarkisian (Australia) and many other champion.
