Tonga’s human rights record will be examined by a United Nations panel in Geneva on Monday, January 15.
This will be third time the kingdom’s human rights record has been studied since 2008.
Tonga will be represented at the review by the Solicitor General, Sione Sisifa.
It is likely that Tonga’s continued failure to sign the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) will be a focus of attention.
