As the UN votes on the question of New Caledonia as part of the Fourth Committee decolonisation mandate, only the United States and Israel vote No - even France and the UK had the grace to abstain. The US has called for the abolition of the UN Special Committee on Decolonisation

Climate change threatens to create more uprooted peoples in the Pacific, so this article looks at indigeneity as experienced by two minority populations in Fiji: people from Rotuma, and Banabans who relocated from Kiribati due to resource over-extraction.

Fascinating, potentially significant. Aus-Vanuatu joint statement after Nakamal meeting says China's police arrangement in Vanuatu is "expected to reduce over time." Only second Pacific nation to say (albeit with caveat) it'll wind back PRC police presence abc.net.au/news/2026-10-19/v…

I feel so sorry for Netflix era kids. They will never know the high stakes adrenaline of running to the bathroom/fridge/bedroom in a single ad break, with the beckoning call of a sibling screaming "It's ONNNNNN" to send you hurdling over furniture to get back in time.

Fifty-eight women from across Fiji are taking part in a training program to help more women who intend to enter politics and public leadership.
The initiative teaches key skills like public speaking, advocacy, and teamwork.
Participants learn how parliament works and take part in a debate inside the parliamentary chamber, stepping into the roles of MPs to discuss real issues and make decisions together.
Organised by the Parliament of Fiji, the workshop is supported by the United Nations Development Program.

Secretive, pro-investor tribunals should not dictate how Pacific states protect their oceans and communities. It is time to reclaim ocean governance.

Protecting the ocean is not a soft topic of debate; it is a question of community consent, identity, and future generations. When decisions about the seabed are made behind closed doors, local voices get locked out.

Foreign corporations have guaranteed legal safeguards through secretive tribunals. What about local communities and sovereign Pacific Nations?

Foreign mining corporations are using offshore tribunals to override Pacific laws. It is time to close the legal loopholes before seabed mining locks in corporate control.

Protecting our oceans means having the sovereign power to strengthen environmental laws and pause risky projects without facing the risk of multi-million-dollar corporate lawsuits.

For the first time in 50 years, the United Nations has published a detailed study on Nuclear Weapons Free Zones around the world – it’s a great resource to compare the strengths and weaknesses of the zones, including the Treaty of Rarotonga for #SPNFZ. docs.un.org/en/A/81/293

So decided to build a site where users can create less cringey AI posters, yes these posters are still AI generated, but we think they’re less cringey. The site is a marketplace of posters so you can see what’s happening. At the moment we have a hard cap of 100 a day as we test. We have a bunch of features planned for rollout so keep an eye on those as well.
