The VUWLR is proud to announce the publication of a special issue on Human Rights in the Pacific. Edited by Dr Petra Butler the issue is based on papers presented at the Human Rights Conference held in Apia in May last year. The issue contains a broad range of papers but is broadly themed around the creation of a Human Rights Convention for the Pacific . This issue of over 400 pages was a massive undertaking and I especially want to congratulate Petra and her assistant editor Catherine Harwood as well as others on the Law Review for seeing it to its conclusion.
