The United Nations will be examining Tonga's progress with their human rights record in Geneva this week.
There's been pressure by delegates who attended Tonga's last review in 2013 to sign the UN Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women.
This will be Tonga's third time being examined since 2008. The kingdom will be represented by Solicitor General Sione Sisifa.
Angola, Slovakia and the United Arab Emirates are the countries on the panel that will carry out the review.
