Papua New Guinea Association - Toner J Peter Barter, a minister in the Chan government and Governor of Madang province, was puzzled to learn that he had lost his seat despite increasing his vote from 32,000 in 1992 to 38,000 this year. Jerry Nalau, one of the first indigenous District Commissioners and, until June, Governor of Morobe province, lost his seat but Sir Michael Somare easily retained his and was no doubt hamamas to have his son, Arthur, join him in parliament as Member for Angoram. Whilst the greater part of the country was free of such overt offences, the election was not without murky possibilities. www.pngaa.net /Articles/articles_Toner_PNG_Election.htm

International Commission of Jurists The Court of Appeal in its landmark decision on 1 March 2001 ruled that the 1997 Constitution guaranteeing equality between ethnic Fijians and Fijians of Indian descent was still in force and that the pre-coup government should be re-called. Following the uprising, on 29 May 2000 the Fiji military attempted to abolish the 1997 Constitution and began ruling by decree and through a hand-picked "interim civilian government". Fiji judges were involved in drafting military decrees immediately after the military take-over, including a decree to fundamentally alter Fiji's judicial structure. www.icj.org /world_pays.php3?id_mot=53%E2%8C%A9=en   (277 words)

Fiji Fiji was ultimately re-admitted to the Commonwealth quite recently, I think it was in 1997, but it remains a republic. Fiji still retains very close economic and political ties with the UK, which may possibly have influenced its decision to retain the old flag. They are probably emblazoned 'natural', so there's plenty of scope for artistic licence, but suggest that the trunk of the coconut-palm in the second quarter should be brown rather than blue, and that the stem and 'dead flower?' at the ends of the bunch of bananas in the fourth quarter, should also be brown. www.crwflags.com /fotw/flags/fj.html   (1043 words)

Body The powers which are separated are the powers of the house of representatives, the senate, the crown (in this country represented by the Governor General, in Fiji by the President) and the judiciary. The most important is the Fiji Labor party's attempt to claim the cabinet positions mandated under the constitution, which Qarase has refused to honour, and the Fiji Labour party's attempt to get the correct number of senators, again, as mandated by the 1997 constitution. But Jo Nata and Timoci Silatolu pleaded not guilty to treason and are now trying to defend themselves because in the headlong rush to Fiji's Republicanism (Fiji became a republic in 1987!) the treason act still speaks of treason against the laws of England and no body bothered to amend it. users.bigpond.net.au /ArtSlutNews/DeathSentenceDemocracyFiji.HTM   (1269 words)
