Government fails to respond to UN Inquiry over SABL and FCA Logging Licences

The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (UNCERD) sent a public letter to the PNG government in January this year requesting information on the cancellation of Special Agriculture Business Leases (SABL) and the misuse of FCA logging licences. Despite an April 17 deadline, inquiries with the UN have confirmed that the PNG government has provided no information to the committee.
