AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoICC Withdrawal & US Reaction: At the UN General Assembly, Naoero’s President David Adeang announced the country will withdraw from the International Criminal Court, depositing its withdrawal documents with the Rome Statute repository, while the US praised the move as standing up for sovereignty after Trump renewed attacks on the ICC. Name Reclaiming: Adeang also used the UN podium to formally push the world to use “Naoero” instead of “Nauru,” saying the change restores local language and identity, with the international code shifting from NRU to NRO and residents increasingly referred to as dei-Naoero. Seabed Mining Clash: In the same UN remarks, Adeang urged the International Seabed Authority to finish the Mining Code, warning that delays could drive unilateral action, as Pacific debate over deep-sea extraction continues. Regional Governance Theme: Separately, Solomon Islands Vice Chancellor Dr Transform Aqorau told an Attorney-General’s conference that public institutions must prioritize merit, fairness, and accountability over personal connections—an issue that resonates across the Pacific’s governance reforms. Pacific Climate Pressure: Pacific leaders at the UN pressed for climate finance as grants, not loans, with Tuvalu’s PM calling sea-level rise a present reality and warning vulnerable states are paying for damage they did not cause.
