About Us

The Fiji Human Rights Commission is the organisation that is mandated by the 1997 Constitution of the Republic of the Fiji Islands to promote and protect human rights of all people in Fiji.

The Commission promotes human rights by educating the public about human rights guaranteed under both the 1997 Constitution and under international conventions. To discover more about our human rights promotional activities, select the "Products" link on the right-hand column.

The Commission's second main function, which is the protection of human rights involves the investigation of allegations of violations of human rights and allegations of unfair discrimination, and subsequent legal action, if necessary.
