Human rights in Tonga : ウィキペディア英語版 | Human rights in Tonga Tonga is a constitutional monarchy with a population of approximately 130,000.〔2010 Human Rights Reports: Tonga (US State Department).〕 Politics and the economy are dominated by the king, the nobility, and a few prominent commoners. Economic, social and cultural rights are generally well-respected. There are however a number of issues concerning protection of civil and political rights particularly freedom of expression, and rights to political participation. Violence against women is a serious issue. ==International treaties== Tonga joined the United Nations in 1999. It is party to two of the nine core human rights treaties - the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the International Convention for the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (CERD).〔"Tonga: Ratification History"().〕 In May 2008, during its Universal Periodic Review (UPR) by the United Nations Human Rights Council, Tonga accepted recommendations to ratify some of the other treaties including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), and the Convention Against Torture (CAT).〔Universal Periodic Review: Report of the Working Group on the Universal Periodic Review: Tonga A/HRC/8/48 (5 June 2008), para 63(3)(5)(6)(7).〕 Despite this, in September 2009, Tonga decided not to ratify CEDAW.〔(), "Tongan Parliament decides not to ratify CEDAW" (Press Release, 18 September 2009).
