  • Republic of the Marshall Islands Changed Circumstances Petition to Congress

The Petition requests additional compensation for personal injuries and property damages and restoration costs, medical care programs, health services infrastructure and training, and radiological monitoring. According to various estimates, between 1954 and 2004, the United States spent over $500 million on nuclear test compensation and related assistance in the Marshall Islands. The Petition bases its claims for compensation upon “changed circumstances” pursuant to Section 177 of the Compact of Free Association. The Compact of Free Association, enacted in 1986, governs the economic and strategic relationships between the United States and the RMI.

  • Trade Dependency As an Impediment to Autonomous Foreign Policy of Small States? a Test of the Patron-Client Model
    TRADE DEPENDENCY AS AN IMPEDIMENT TO AUTONOMOUS FOREIGN POLICY OF SMALL STATES? A TEST OF THE PATRON-CLIENT MODEL HELENA LAUREYNS PROF W. VEENENDAAL PROF F. Bakker 17/07/2019 8076 Words Introduction On the 15th of September, 2009, the heads of state and government gather in the UN headquarters in New York for the 64th session of the UN General Assembly. That session, 4 countries had a voting coincidence with the U.S. of a 100% on important votes and consensus actions; Palau, Micronesia, Israel and the Marshall Islands (Bureau of International Organization Affairs, 2010). Some would note that Palau, Micronesia and the Marshall Islands all have been former colonies of the U.S., hence, the voting alignment. However; the word former implies that these countries are now independent sovereign states. But are they really independent? The relation between small and big states has often been described of as one of dependency and vulnerability (Elman, 1995; Armstrong & Read, 2003; Richardson & Kegley, 1980). Being aware of the weakness and dependency of these small states, big powerful states have often found themselves in a powerful bargaining position in which they commonly provided security and economic aid in return for a compensation; votes (Veenendaal, 2017; p. 565). This relation between the providing big state and the more vulnerable small state during the Cold War has often been coined as a patron-client relation (Ciorciari, 2015; Veenendaal, 2017; Roniger, 2015; Carney, 1989). By this is meant a reciprocal, voluntarily entered relation between two actors controlling unequal resources (Carney, 1989; p. 44). The relation is two sided; there is exchange between the two countries in which the client – the dyad with the fewer resources - complies to voting with the patron – the dyad with more resources - in return for the preservation of its security (Carney, 1989; p.

  • Who Blew up the Forum?
    Published on March 5, 2021 (Nathan Hughes Hamilton/Flickr) Who blew up the Forum? By Stephen Howes and Sadhana Sen In all the analysis following the decision of the five Micronesian countries to exit the Pacific Islands Forum after their candidate failed to become the next Secretary General (SG), one question remains unanswered: who is responsible for this body-blow to Pacific regionalism? One position is to blame the Micronesians. Perhaps they should have been less retaliatory in their approach, and rather than quit, resolved to try again next time. As Transform Aqorau has eloquentlyargued , this would be unfair. The Micronesian countries had decided on their position well in advance of the leadership contest. Their candidate, Gerald Zackios, a diplomat, seemed Link: https://devpolicy.org/who-blew-up-the-forum-20210305/ Page 1 of 4 Date downloaded: September 26, 2021 Published on March 5, 2021 reasonable, as did their argument that it was their turn. The countries warned as a group in advance that they would walk away if they did not get their candidate up. How then, when he failed, could they not? Kevin Rudd has decided to blame Australia for the fiasco, but the fact is that a majority of Pacific countries objected to a candidate, who, as one of us noted late last year was “the firm favourite”, and whose election “should have been a mere formality”, as Maureen Penjueli recently put it. Was Zackios’ defeat rational? We know that the final vote was eight for Zackios, and nine for Henry Puna, the former Cook Islands PM and Polynesian candidate who defeated him.

  • MPS Leaders Joint Press Release
    Friday August 28th, 2020 UPHOLD THE GENTLEMEN’S AGREEMENT Leaders are committed to Micronesia’s Candidate In September 2019, Micronesian Leaders unanimously submitted the subregion’s candidate for the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS) Secretary General (SG) post, reaffirming again this decision in June 2020. Leaders of Micronesia remain united and resolute in their decision to endorse the incumbent RMI Ambassador to the U.S, H.E. Gerald Zackios, for the esteemed post. The unprecedented global Covid crisis rests on top of an already challenging array of regional development and security challenges. More than ever, the Pacific needs a Secretary General who is a careful listener, well-versed in foreign policy, and who will build on important efforts to shape regionalism with pragmatic management strategies. In this regard, Micronesia Leaders are confident in Ambassador Zackios, who has proven himself to be a strong, empathetic, and conscientious leader with impeccable credentials, and with vast experience in the Pacific who will work closely with Forum Leaders and other stakeholders to guide and lead the work of the PIFS. Current Chair of the Pacific Islands Forum, Tuvalu, initiated the recruitment process in mid April, calling for nominations to be submitted before June 19, 2020. Immediately after the nominations were opened, the Micronesian Leaders conveyed their mutual nomination of H.E. Gerald Zackios. On 18th June, just a day before the deadline for nominations were to be closed, Forum Chair Tuvalu recommended that the decision be delayed until the next Forum Leaders’ meeting, to discuss the matter in person. Tuvalu also recommended that the Forum consider extending current Secretary General Dame Meg Taylor’s term or appointing the Deputy Secretary General, Dr.
