Asia-Pacific: Picking up the pace over rights of the child in Kiribati?
Sarah Bassiuoni
Alternative Law Journal
Volume 31, Number 4, December 2006

LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW

In Kiribati there is no specific legislation that comprehensively protects children, despite the government ratifying the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1995. There are serious gaps in the law governing the sexual exploitation of children, in particular pornography and illicit transfer. There is no alternative care system. Corporal punishment in schools is not sanctioned nor is it prohibited. There is a lack of understanding by medical staff, law enforcement agencies and the general public of the operation of duty of care laws. The difficulties in enforcing the rights of the child on this central pacific nation of atolls are vivid and the consequences can be dire.
