Tuvalu national plan on Human Rights

Tuvalu lauded for human rights focus

Tuvalu's Prime Minister Enele Sopoaga spearheaded the plan, which aims to enshrine human rights in the country's development priorities.

The Pacific Community's senior human rights advisor, Romulo Nayacalevu, said Tuvalu is the first country in the Pacific to launch such a document.

Mr Nayacalevu said human rights include not only civil and political rights but also access to water, education, and health care.
