NAURU FALLS SHORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH INTERNATIONAL REGULATIONS

A recent review of Nauru’s compliance with international regulations has revealed a number of shortcomings, putting its citizens and visitors at risk.

Motor Traffic Act Non-Compliance

According to sources, Nauru is yet to fully comply with the Motor Traffic Act, 2014. The act regulates the importation of motor vehicles into the country, requiring all imported vehicles to meet certain safety and environmental standards. However, many vehicles are still being brought in without meeting these requirements.

Agricultural Quarantine Regulations Non-Compliance

Nauru has also failed to implement the Agricultural Quarantine (Animal Import) Regulations, 2008. The regulations regulate the importation of live animals into the country, requiring all imported animals to be accompanied by a health certificate and to meet certain sanitary standards. However, many animals are still being brought in without meeting these requirements.

Animals Regulations Non-Compliance

The review also found that Nauru has failed to implement the Animals (Amendment) Regulations, 2008. These regulations regulate the importation of animals into the country, requiring all imported animals to be accompanied by a health certificate and to meet certain sanitary standards. However, many animals are still being brought in without meeting these requirements.

Banking Regulations Non-Compliance

Furthermore, Nauru has failed to implement the Banking (Application for Licence) Regulations, 1977. The regulations regulate the provision of banking services in the country, requiring all banks and financial institutions to meet certain capital adequacy standards and to conduct regular audits. However, many banks and financial institutions are still not meeting these requirements.

Barristers and Solicitors Rules Non-Compliance

The review also found that Nauru has failed to implement the Barristers and Solicitors (Remuneration Non-Contentious Business) Rules, 1974. The rules regulate the provision of legal services in the country, requiring all legal practitioners to meet certain ethical standards and to conduct regular audits. However, many legal practitioners are still not meeting these requirements.

Call for Action

The Nauru government has been urged to take immediate action to address these shortcomings and bring its regulations into line with international standards. Failure to do so could have serious consequences for the country’s economy and reputation.

Government Response

In response to these findings, a spokesperson for the Nauru government said that the country is committed to improving its compliance with international regulations and is taking steps to address the identified shortfalls. The spokesperson stated that the country is working closely with international partners to implement new regulations and strengthen its regulatory framework.
