Pacific leaders must protect sovereign digital rights

That's the view of the Pacific Network on Globalisation, or PANG, which said the strategy, commissioned by the Forum last year, denies Pacific countries their sovereign right to manage their digital domains, including data.

PANG has now released a new critique of the strategy, written by emeritus law professor at Auckland University, Jane Kelsey.

She said the Pacific needs strategies that are by, and for, the region.
