A UN fact-finding Mission has been dispatched to Fiji because of Security Council's concerns about the situation there.Fiji fell to a military coup four months ago resulting in a sharp decline in the economy. The Security Council has called for a peaceful resolution and the restoration of democracy.
The fact-finding mission's objective is to gain a first hand assessment of the situation in Fiji through broad consultations with the interim authorities, representatives of all political parties and civil society. The Mission, which arrives in Fiji on Sunday, will also meet with the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat and the resident diplomatic community.
The mission is being led by Mr. Jehangir Khan of the Department of Political Affairs and will include political and electoral experts as well as representatives from the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and UNDP. Following its consultations in Fiji, the Mission will report its findings and recommendations to the Secretary-General.
