Finally, H.E. Ambassador Chow on behalf of the Taiwan Photo Gallery 8 Government thanked H.E.

Ambassador Chow’s speech, H.E. President Waqa delivered his speech and also started with “Ni Hao” in response and then thanked the Taiwan government for their assistance to Nauru, and vowed to continue to enhance the friendship between the two countries. At the end, H.E. President Waqa asked H.E Ambassador Chow to convey his blessings to the Taiwanese government and the people for the coming new year. The Embassy prepared typically traditional food “Niángāo” for the New Year’s celebration. All the guests enjoyed it very much. It was a pleasant din- ner banquet. H.E. Ambassador Joseph Chow and Madam Michelle Chow wished all Nauruan people a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year. Page 2 TTM Anibar Farm Open Day On the 21st of February, The Taiwan Technical Mission (TTM) hosted an Open Day at Anibar Farm. Invited Guests included H.E. President Baron Waqa and First Lady Louis Waqa, the Hon. Cabinet Ministers, and the Hon. Members of Parliaments and their wives. Before touring around the farm, H.E. Ambassador Joseph Chow said in his welcoming speech: I believe many of you may be curious about what’s happening inside the farm when you pass by the gate. Especially when you hear hens singing egg songs, pigs snoring and see sweet corns growing in the field. In order to help you understand what TTM is doing here, we specially organized these Farm Open Day activities. But before we start the tour, I would like to take this opportunity to provide a brief introduction about TTM’s mission and what we have achieved since it established in 2006.The purpose of set- ting up TTM is to enhance the agricultural cooperation between our two countries and to work with the people of Nauru to achieve the goal of sustainable livelihoods. The current two main projects of the TTM is local vegetable production and nutrition enhancement project. The local vegetable program promotes the family vegetable garden. The locals are welcome to come to the farm to get the seeds and to learn how to plant vegetables for their own kitchens. At present the farm has small tomatoes, cucumber, eggplant, cabbage, lettuce, long beans, okra, sweet potatoes, sweet corn, pumpkin, papa- ya, cauliflower and other fruits and vegetables. On average, TTM produces about 5,500 kilograms of fruit and vegetables each year for school kitchens and the state-owned Eigigu supermarket to sell. For the nutrition enhancement project, TTM raises over 1,000 hens to supply 3,000 boiled eggs to the students from kindergartens to secondary high school students per week and provide eggs for sale in Eigigu to stabilize prices so that the people of Nauru can enjoy fresh and cheap eggs. The locals are also welcome to come here to get their free chicks to raise in their own yards. Soon after the opening speech, the director of the TTM, Dominic Lee led the tour and gave the visitors a de- tailed explanation about activities on the farm i.e. water dripping system and the compost pit to improve the soil fertility. The tour took around one hour. H.E. President Waqa said that the people of Nauru sincerely thanked the Republic of China (Taiwan) for its long-term assistance in the field of agriculture. President Waqa and the MPs appreciated the efforts of the Tai- wan Embassy and the TTM for helping Nauru’s agricultural development. At the end, all the guests enjoyed the traditional Taiwanese tea eggs. Page 3 Madam Chow’s Karaoke Afternoon Tea Party On the 7th of February, Madam Michelle Chow hosted an after- noon tea party to celebrate the Lunar New Year of 2017 at the R.O.C Ambassador’s residence. Around twenty ladies attended the afternoon party, including Mrs. Sharon BuramanIn (spouse of Speaker of the Parliament), Mrs. Corrina Cook (spouse of Minis- ter of Untility), Mrs. Rubyka Kam (spouse of Minister of Trans- portation), Ms. Ann -Marie Cain (Clerk of the Parliament), and the spouses of Members of the Parliaments and the Heads of De- partments and other distinguished ladies in the public service. The First Lady Louisa Waqa sent an apology. She was not able to at- tend due to a sudden business trip with President Waqa to Singapore. First, Madam Chow made a brief welcome speech and then started the karaoke singing. Almost all the ladies are very good singers. Once the karaoke started the singing and laughing did not stop, except when Mrs. El- eanor Detsiogo demonstrated how to make a facial mask with avocado and how to maintain healthy and strong hair. All the ladies watched the demo carefully and wrote down the recipe for it. Madam Chow also prepared some fine refreshments and traditional Taiwanese Tea eggs for the guests. The tea party was supposed to end at 5:00 pm but because of the warm and enthusiastic atmosphere the party did- n’t finish until 9:30 pm. What a lovely and enjoyable afternoon tea party! News update 1. Nauru Police Superintendent, Iven Notte, was invited to attend National Development Course in Taipei from 1- 25 January, 2017. 2. His Excellency President Baron Waqa and Madam Waqa were invited by the President of the Republic of China (Taiwan), H.E. Tsai, Ing-Wen to pay an official visit To Taiwan from 7 to 12 March 2017. 3. The mobile medical team from Taichung Veterans General hospital (TCVGH) will be visiting on Nauru from 7th - 17th of May. Team members include a cardiovascular surgeon, ENT (Ear, nose, and throat) doctor, radiologist, and a registered nurse. Page 4 Screening of a Film of Nauru College Students visiting Taiwan Eleven Nauru College students and two teachers were invited by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of ROC (Taiwan) to visit Taiwan from the 22nd - 27th Sept, 2016. On the morning of November 16th, the Embassy held a forum with 12th grade students and teachers to share a video of the trip in the audio-visual classroom at Nauru College. They watched the rec- orded documentary video film for this trip. At the same time, the students also displayed some items that they brought back from Taiwan, for example, homemade soap, souvenirs, clothes, and their written trip reports. H.E. Ambassador Chow said the friendship between Taiwan and Nauru is so strong not only at the high-level officials interaction but also the link between the grassroots. Hence, in August 2013 and August 2015, the stu- dents in the Able Disabled Center were also invited to visit Taiwan. H.E. Ambassador Chow thanked H.E. Nauru President Baron Waqa for his support and Richard Lewis, Princi- ple of Nauru College for his assistance to make the trip possible. The trip was positive and educational, as demonstrated by the one-hour long documentary film, which enabled the students to share their experiences with their friends. Nauru college principal, Richard Lewis, also thanked the Taiwan government for organiz- ing the trip for cultural exchanges. During the video screening, the audience were in a happy mood and laughed constantly, and there was a desire by the students who had not been able to participate in visiting Taiwan too.

  • 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.

  • By Paul D. Miller the NAURU ELEGIES the NAURU ELEGIES NAURU
    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.

    Legality in a Parliamentary Change of Government: Nauru: Constitutional Reference No. 1 of 2003: In the Matter of Article 55 of the Constitution and in the Matter of a Resolution Pursuant to Article 24(1) of the Constitution In the Matter of Article 55 of the Constitution and In the Matter of a Resolution pursuant to Article 24(1) of the Constitution [of Nauru]: Adjudicating the Constitutionality of Parliamentary Change of Government By Gregory Tardi, B.A. (Hons.), B.C.L., LL.B[*] Parliamentary government inherently comprises the search for political success and partisan advantage. Democratic parliamentarianism requires, however, that public life be conducted in accordance with the rule of law in both substantive and procedural respects. This is as true in micro-States as it is in greater powers which have historically well-established democratic traditions. Indeed, the small size and remote location of a State, as well as the lack of adequate reporting of its political law,[1] should not deter acute observers from taking note of jurisprudence that both creates legal precedent and enlightens the path of democracy in parliamentary and political practice. The World’s Smallest Parliamentary Republic Nauru is a microscopic island in the South-Western Pacific Ocean. After having been first a German, then a British colony, it became independent on January 31, 1968. The Constitution of Nauru, [2] adopted on January 29, 1968, sets out in Article 2 that the Constitution is the supreme law and that any law inconsistent with it is void to the extent of the inconsistency. The country has a unicameral Parliament of eighteen Members to represent its roughly 12,500 people.
