Last update: 4 hours agoDecolonisation: The United States urged the UN to end its decolonisation committee, calling its Pacific visits wasteful. The Pacific Conference of Churches rejected the call, saying people in French Polynesia and five other Pacific territories must be able to determine their political future. At the UN, 160 countries backed an initial resolution on non-self-governing territories; the U.S. and Israel opposed it, while France abstained. Paris and UN Oversight: France has also opposed a UN fact-finding mission on French Polynesia’s future, arguing consultations should stay within French institutions. Supporters of independence and autonomy have called for international monitoring and open dialogue. Pacific Policing: Pacific police chiefs endorsed the PACPOL constitution, establishing a regional policing body. French Polynesia is among its members; Papua New Guinea’s police commissioner was elected chair, with Tuvalu’s commissioner as deputy.
