THE 1997 CONSTITUTION:  JUDGES CANNOT BE MADE TO BECOME VETO PLAYERS IN POLITICS The Republic of the Fiji Islands is declared in the course of the preamble to be a multi-racial society. Moreover, there is no mechanism in the Constitution of Fiji, which empowers the Supreme Court to force one of the belligerent parties to abide by its final ruling. The 1997 Constitution of Fiji was, after all, designed and approved by politicians, who themselves had been elected to Parliament under the illegal and racist 1990 Constitution of Fiji following the abrogation of the 1970 independent Constitution of Fiji. www.saag.org /papers8/paper741.html

Constitution of Fiji: Preamble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The framers of the Constitution wanted the Preamble to acknowledge the unique place of indigenous Fijians and Rotumans, whilst at the same time affirming the equal value to the country of Indo-Fijians and other minorities. The Constitution of Fiji begins with a Preamble, which sets out the historical, cultural, and political reasons for the drafting of the 1997 Constitution. The Preamble goes on to recognize that "all those who chose to make their homes in these islands form our multicultural society," and recognizes the value and worth of the diverse faiths, traditions, languages, and cultures of the various ethnic components of Fiji's society. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Constitution_of_Fiji:_Preamble   (316 words)

RECONCILIATION BILL AN INSULT TO VICTIMS OF FIJI COUP - June 8, 2005 The preamble of the Bill states that the political events of 1987 and 2000 were occasioned by a widespread belief among the indigenous Fijians that the 1970 and the 1997 Constitutions were inadequate in protecting and preserving indigenous rights. Whilst the Prime Minister of Fiji, Laisania Qarase, has condemned the 1997 Constitution for failing indigenous Fijians, he still wants the Unity Commission to be guided by the principles enshrined in the Compact and the Bill of Rights. Representations by concerned groups must be made to their respective Governments with diplomatic relations with Fiji and it must be communicated to the Government of Fiji that the international community will not tolerate efforts to violate the rights of the victims by rewarding coup makers with amnesty. archives.pireport.org /archive/2005/June/06-08-com1.htm   (1344 words)
