OHCHR - Pacific Regional Office


Background

The first OHCHR presence in the Pacific dates back to August 2001. The initial project was aimed at supporting the peace process in the Solomon Islands in the wake of civil unrest in the country (1999 – October 2000). A further project to strengthen the national human rights institutional capacities was fielded in 2003 for a period of one year. After a brief hiatus, OHCHR returned to the Pacific region in August 2005 and established a regional office in Suva , Fiji . In August 2006, a sub-office was opened in Honiara , Solomon Islands . Further, a Human Rights adviser will be placed in the Papua New Guinea UN Country Team (UNCT) during 2007.
