Extractions: The original inhabitants of Kiribati are Gilbertese, a Micronesian people. Approximately 90% of the population of Kiribati lives on the atolls of the Gilbert Islands. Although the Line Islands are about 2,000 miles east of the Gilbert Islands, most inhabitants of the Line Islands are also Gilbertese. Owing to an annual population growth rate of around 2.5% and severe overcrowding in the capital on South Tarawa, a program of migration has been implemented to move nearly 5,000 inhabitants to outlying atolls, mainly in the Line Islands. The Phoenix Islands have never had any permanent population. A British effort to settle Gilbertese there in the 1930s failed due to lack of water. A new program of settlement to the Phoenix Islands was begun in 1995. ...

Short codes are of the form 1xx, 10xx or 9xx. Carrier TSKL has indicated there should be sufficient numbering capacity for several years. The carrier is developing a 6-digit national numbering plan as a contingency, however. VHF service (Maiana, Marakei and Abaiang) has numbers in 27xxx range. VHF is expected to be replaced by DRCS numbers at which point these numbers will be changed to 3xxxx format. Analog mobile service (30xxx) is expected to be replaced by GSM (9xxxx). TSKL has suggested 30xxx could be assigned for new Bikenibeu subscriber numbers after analog service is decommissioned, expected some time in 2004. Audiotext services have 7xxxx format numbers (TSKL indicates these are operated by Reach/Telstra Australia).

Print this page Annual Report Manila, regional delegation (Australia, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu, Western Samoa, territories and colonies of the Pacific) The regional delegation kept up its relations with National Societies and governments in the region to encourage adhesion to the Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols by those Pacific States which had not yet done so. In September the Federated States of Micronesia acceded to these treaties, which were ratified by Palau's parliament in August. At the end of the year, however, the relevant instruments had not yet been deposited with the Swiss government. Other topics of discussion included the 1980 UN Weapons Convention, the ICRC's activities worldwide and the 26th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent. The ICRC also offered support to the National Societies in their efforts to promote knowledge of and respect for humanitarian law. The regional delegate conducted six missions to Australia in the course of the year. He discussed the ICRC's activities and mandate with members of the Australian Red Cross Society (ARCS), the Federation's representative in Sydney, reporters from radio and television stations, and members of the written press.

In that year he read as much as he could on Pacific anthropology, laying the foundations of his library with early purchases by authors like Rivers, Haddon and Malinowski. These did not dispel his own vision of the South Seas and on graduation Maude nominated the remote Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony - "where Melville found his Mardi and Stackpole his exemplar of the blue lagoon" - as his sole choice in his application for a cadetship in the Colonial Administrative Service.

Map of colonial history While the winds of change swept through European colonies in Asia and Africa after the Second World War, decolonisation came later in the Pacific region. And even as we move to the end of the twentieth century, the age of colonialism is not over in the Pacific In 1990, the United Nations commenced the Decade for the Eradication of Colonialism - but today, there are still outliers of empire in the Pacific region. The United Nations Decolonisation Committee maintains a list of non-self-governing territories, which includes Pacific nations such as New Caledonia, Guam, East Timor, American Samoa and even tiny Pitcairn, the last element of the British empire in the region. Rapanui (Easter Island) remains under Chilean administration. Other Pacific peoples are seeking the right to self-determination: in Bougainville, Ka Pae'aina (Hawai'i), Te Ao Maohi (French Polynesia) and West Papua (Irian Jaya). The Pacific islands live with the legacies of more than a century of colonial rule
