Fiji’s legal system is based on the English common law system. It acceded to the UNCAC in May 2008. Fiji’s criminal bribery offences were externally reviewed under the UNCAC’s Pilot Review Mechanism. Fiji has been a member of the APG since 1998.
Fiji ratified CEDAW in 1995, but progress has been limited in incorporating and implementing its provisions. According to a report by Fiji Women’s Rights Movement (FWRM), women gained more rights with the introduction of the 1997 Constitution. However, they experienced a severe setback as a result of the attempted coup d’état in May 2000 and the ensuing political instability.
