The Office of the Attorney-General is set to lead the Fiji Human Rights Taskforce, which aims to coordinate, advise, and promote ongoing interaction among State institutions to ensure that Fiji meets its international human rights responsibilities. This development follows the Cabinet’s approval of the Taskforce.
The Fiji Human Rights Taskforce will oversee the effective coordination of the country’s interactions with international human rights mechanisms. These include the United Nations Human Rights Treaty Bodies, the Universal Periodic Review, and the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council, as well as monitoring the implementation of the results from these engagements.
