A/HRC/14/37 3. General comments made by other relevant stakeholders 423. Amnesty International considered that the human rights situation in Fiji had not improved since the review in the Working Group session. It was concerned by the draft measures establishing a media tribunal empowered to impose hefty fines on journalists and editors and to imprison them for up to 5 years. It welcomed the announcement of the revoking of the public emergency regulations and the acceptance of the recommendations concerning discrimination and violence against women. It was concerned about the arrest, detention and charging of ministers and officials of the Methodist Church under the public emergency regulations. Amnesty International was concerned about the ongoing prosecution of human rights defenders, particularly Imrana Jalal, whose case it believed to be linked to politically motivated charges. 424. The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom reiterated the need to restore democracy and constitutional rule and to put an end to media censorship and the intimidation and persecution of critics of the interim Government. While noting the efforts made to reduce violence against women, it stressed that such reforms must be made within a democratic process. In this context, it called upon Fiji to take immediate steps towards an inclusive national dialogue leading to early and credible elections and the return to democracy. It also called upon Governments to maintain their targeted sanctions against individuals responsible for the human right abuses in Fiji and deter progress in the implementation of the universal period review recommendations, particularly the restoration of the rule of law. Further, it called for the removal of the public emergency regulations and the restoration of the bill of rights. 425. The World Association for the School as an Instrument of Peace echoed many States in encouraging Fiji to ratify the core human rights conventions and to issue a standing invitation to special procedures mandate holders. It also stressed the importance of the Fiji Human Rights Commission’s conforming to the Paris Principles. It reiterated the need to end the public emergency regulations, the harassment of human rights defenders and the interference with the judiciary. It also highlighted the need to restore the Constitution and to repeal the media decree, and to hold an early election. It expressed support for integrating human rights education into the curriculum, and for Fiji’s participation in a future regional human rights body for the Pacific. It also encouraged Fiji to continue to participate in the Polynesian Talanoa process. 4. Concluding remarks of the State under review 426.
