AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoICC Withdrawal & US Reaction: Naoero (formerly Nauru) has formally announced it will withdraw from the International Criminal Court, depositing its withdrawal instruments at the Rome Statute repository after President David Adeang’s UN General Assembly speech. The US quickly praised the move as a stand for sovereignty, with Washington’s senior diplomat meeting Naoero’s deputy foreign minister in New York. Sovereignty vs International Courts: Trump urged countries to quit the ICC, but Naoero was the only one to follow during the UN week, while European leaders signaled they will defend the court. Name Reclamation: Adeang also used the UN platform to push the world to “say our name,” restoring the traditional Naoero spelling and pronunciation, with international code changes expected. Seabed Mining Pressure: In the same UN address, Naoero criticized delays at the International Seabed Authority and urged rules to be completed, warning that continued stalling could drive unilateral action. Regional Governance & Rule of Law: Fiji’s former Attorney-General Graham Leung was elected president of the Fiji Law Society, pledging an apolitical, rule-of-law approach as Fiji faces a constitutional review and elections.
