The Fiji Sun wrote a very biased piece about Niko's visit to New York. Perhaps this one is more balanced if you can track down how to listen to the audio. It's on Pacific Beat of the ABC.
Battle over iTaukei rights in Fiji resumes at UN in New York
Updated 21 April 2015, 12:26 AEST
They're making a presentation at the UN's 14th Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, just the latest step in a two-year battle to persuade the UN to pressure Fiji's government over iTaukei rights.
The Congress argues that the government is violating ILO Convention 169, and harming iTaukei rights to self-determination, and particularly control over native cultural, educational and financial institutions and tribal lands.
Opposition MP Niko Nawaikula is part of the Congress' delegation in New York. He's just appeared before the UN Forum.
Presenter: Richard Ewart
Speaker: Niko Nawaikula, Fiji opposition MP, Fiji Native and Tribal Congress representative
