In its protection work, the ICRC continued to focus on registration and follow-up of people arrested in connection with insurgency and secessionist activity in the Philippines. In the course of their annual series of visits, delegates assessed the material and psychological conditions of detention and forwarded Red Cross messages in order to restore or maintain contact between the detainees and their families. When necessary they monitored developments by means of supplementary visits. In conjunction with the Philippine National Red Cross, the ICRC organized and financed trips by families lacking the means to visit their relatives being held in far-away places of detention.
Thousands displaced in Mindanao
In Mindanao, thousands of families were displaced by clashes in January and as many as 60,000 were forced to flee fighting in June and July, in both cases be-tween the Philippine armed forces and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front. The Philippine Red Cross and the ICRC swung into action, distributing food and other essential items to a total of some 40,000 people in need. The ICRC also covered the medical expenses of civilians wounded in skirmishes between the NPA* and security forces in various parts of the country. The upsurge in violence in Mindanao prompted the ICRC to assign a delegate to the area full time.

The ICRC maintained contacts with National Societies and governments in order to encourage ratification of the Geneva Conventions and the Additional Protocols by those Pacific States which had not yet done so, and to support the National Societies in their dissemination efforts. In December the ICRC opened a media liaison office in Sydney, Australia.

The regional delegate carried out three missions to Australia in the course of the year. He went to Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney to pursue the dialogue with the government and the National Society, to take part in a basic training course for future Australian Red Cross delegates and to prepare the Second Regional Conference on International Humanitarian Law.
In May delegates went to Canberra and Melbourne to brief the Australian Red Cross and government officials on the ICRC's activities in the region and to discuss the government's contribution to the institution's budget. In July delegates took part in a conference organized by the armed forces in Townsville (Queensland) on the impact of international humanitarian law on the conduct of operations by land commanders.

About the ICRC ICRC Activities The ICRC worldwide Focus ... Annual Report Annual Report Manila Regional delegation (Australia, Fiji, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, New Zealand, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and the other island territories of the Pacific) The Asian financial crisis dealt a further blow to the weakened Philippines' economy and fuelled unrest in a volatile society in which it was increasingly difficult to distinguish between criminal and political activity. Confrontations between the armed forces and opposing Islamic or communist groups and infighting between various factions within the same movement affected Mindanao, Negros and Quezon in particular. Although negotiations between the government and the MILF* and NPA* produced some tangible results, guerrilla warfare remained the order of the day. Clashes in Mindanao forced thousands to flee their homes. Those who stayed behind were often subjected to various forms of abuse. A series of bomb attacks in Mindanao, killing 16 and injuring 175, targeted the civilian population rather than combatants. The ICRC repeatedly reminded the warring parties of their obligation to respect civilians and civilian property during military operations.
The regional delegation approached various Pacific States to encourage ratification of the Additional Protocols and the Ottawa treaty. The latter was ratified by Fiji, Niue and Samoa. In August the ICRC conducted the first course on inter-national humanitarian law and human rights for Vanuatu's police and security forces. The ICRC attended the Eighth Programme Meeting of Pacific Red Cross Societies in Fiji. This event provided an opportunity to explore ways of strengthening the 13 National Societies concerned (some of which were in formation), in coordination with the Federation.

... Australia/Pacific : Kiribati Kiribati
History Spanish explorer de Quiros' hectic Pacific schedule brought him to Butaritari in 1606, and he named it Buen Viaje (Nice Trip). Archaeological evidence indicates that ancestors of the people who stood on the shore singing 'Ol© ol© ol©' to de Quiros were Austronesians, and they'd arrived in the islands at least 2000 years earlier. Tongans and Fijians invaded some time around the 14th century AD, and intermarriage between groups gave the population a reasonably homogenous appearance by the early 19th century. A particularly dirty piece of colonial high jinks took place on 8 April 1841, when 80 officers and enlisted men from the USS

On July 3, 2002, President Jiang Zemin held talks with the visiting President of Kiribati Teburoro Tito at the Great Hall of the People. The two sides exchanged opinions on bilateral ties and international and regional issues of common concern.
President Jiang welcomed President Tito for his second visit to China and made positive comment on China-Kiribati relations. Jiang said that bilateral friendly relations have continued to progress since Tito's 1996 visit to China, and pointed out there have been frequent contact between leaders and officials, fruitful exchanges and cooperation in such fields as trade, education, medicine, public health and space science, and mutual support for each other in international affairs.
Jiang expressed his appreciation for the Kiribati government's adherence to the One China policy, refraining from official ties with Taiwan and its support of the Chinese government on the Taiwan issue internationally.
On the cooperative relations between China and the Pacific Islands Forum, Jiang mentioned the strengthening of friendly relations between China and the member states of the Pacific Islands Forum and their fruitful cooperation in such fields as economy, trade, culture, education and health, as well as their excellent coordination in international affairs. Jiang stressed that China supports the strengthening of regional cooperation between the countries in the South Pacific and the promotion of regional peace and the development of the regional economy. He added China also supports these countries' rational appeal for the establishment of a nuclear-free area and the protection of their fishery resources.

9.3.7.1. Infrastructure and Settlement
Generally, the largest concentrations of settlements on small islands occur no further than 1–2 km from the coast, and sometimes much less. In most of the eastern Caribbean states, for instance, more than 50% of the population resides within 2 km of the coast; the corresponding figure in Barbados is estimated to be in the region of 60% (Nurse, 1992). Similarly, large coastal populations are the norm in the Pacific and Indian Ocean islands—especially the atoll states, where settlement areas may even be sited on the beach itself or on the sand terrace (e.g., Tuvalu, Kiribati, Maldives). Clearly, such settlements are at risk from projected sea-level rise—which, in all likelihood, would be accompanied by inundation, increased flooding, coastal erosion, and consequently land loss. ); Majuro, Marshall Islands (2,188 persons/km
