Statements from the Chair (i) ‘Members of the House, before we proceed with our normal business of the day, I have four statements to be made to this august House. As Members might be aware that the Parliament of Nauru has been provided with two Toyota Prado diesel four-wheel vehicles as a grant by the Government of India. These vehicles will serve the long term use of the Parliament in smoothening its work and facilitating the Members in their official duties. This project was taken by me with the then Minister for External Affairs who is also the Prime Minister of India and I am happy that they have acceded to my request. I have also regulated the use of the vehicle within the Parliament Secretariat in order to achieve the highest levels of efficiency and diligence. I would also like to state in no uncertain terms that this assistance would not have come without the endeavours of our Department of Foreign Affairs who had over the years strengthened the bilateral ties with India and the Minister, Hon. David Adeang, who talked to the Deputy Minister of External Affairs, Government of India, Hon.

  • 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.

  • High Commission of India Suva **** India-Nauru Bilateral Relations
    High Commission of India Suva **** India-Nauru Bilateral Relations Bilateral relations with Nauru have been cordial and friendly. The Indian High Commissioner to Fiji is concurrently accredited to Nauru since 2011, earlier it was covered by High Commission of India, Wellington. Nauru has an Honorary Consul General in New Delhi. Nauru was earlier a major supplier of phosphate to India. Nauru had invested in Paradeep Phosphates Ltd. (incorporated in 1981) a joint venture between Governments of India and Nauru. India has since bought back their shares at the original value. Former President H. E. Kinza Clodumar visited India during April 1998 to attend the First Assembly Meeting of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). The visit strengthened bilateral relations. Directly recruited Indian expatriates have held positions in Nauru and their services have been appreciated by Government of Nauru. Mr Sasikumar Paravanoor is presently working as Secretary to Cabinet to Government of Republic of Nauru. India has supplied one 16 seater Mini Van for the use of Nauru Members of Parliament, one 8-seater for the use of the Speaker of the Nauru Parliament and two 30 seater buses for the use of the school children in 2007. Grant-in-aid of US$ 100,000 was released by High Commission of India in Suva in 2008 to the Pacific Islands Forum (PIF) Secretariat for recruirment of teachers for Nauru. Subsequently the PIF Secretariat transferred the amount to Government of Nauru.
