Date Type Case No Country Mandate(s) Summary of the allegation transmitted Reply FRA 4/2011 29/11/2011 France AL Indigenous peoples; 30/01/2012 Lettre concernant le refus de la France de permettre aux populations autochtones de la République de Vanuatu d‟accéder aux îles d‟Umaenupne et d‟Umaenea, sous souveraineté française, afin qu‟ils puissent y exercer des rituels culturels et religieux. Selon les informations reçues, les îles d‟Umaenupne et d‟Umaenea revêtent une importance religieuse et culturelle pour les peuples autochtones du Vanuatu, en particulier pour les personnes vivant dans les îles les plus méridionales du Vanuatu, soit Tanna, Futuna et Aneiytum, qui forment la province de Tafea. Ces îles détiennent toujours une grande signification spirituelle pour les habitants de la province de Tafea, qui continuent d‟effectuer des rituels sacrés sur les îles. Les îles d‟Umaenupe et d‟Umaenea sont revendiquées par la France en vertu de sa souveraineté sur la NouvelleCalédonie. Selon certaines sources, la France ne permet pas aux habitants de Vanuatu de visiter les îles pour y exécuter des rituels sacrés, ou pour toute autre fin. Il semblerait que la dernière fois que des habitants de Vanuatu auraient tenté de visiter Umaenupne et Umaenea, un bateau du gouvernement français aurait entravé leur accès aux îles. Vanuatu a soulevé à maintes reprises ses préoccupations à cet égard avec le gouvernement français, mais la situation et le déni d‟accès n‟auraient pas changé.
