Who Can Help Me If I Believe My Rights Have Been Breached?

When your rights and freedoms have been denied you can do any of the following:

  1. Lodge a complaint with the Fiji Human Rights Commission;

  2. Consult a lawyer; or 

  3. Talk to your community leader, teacher or anyone else that you trust.

Similarly, you can also lodge a complaint on behalf of anyone else OR on behalf of a group of people if you think their rights and freedoms are being denied.

To lodge a complaint with the Commission, follow this link .

Alternatively, as set out in Section 41 of the 1997 Constitution, you can apply to the High Court for redress.
