Aftermath of the May 14, 1987 coup.

Very little has been written on charitable laws in Fiji to date. Most of the organisations in Fiji seek incorporation under the pre-independence legislation dealing with charities, the Charitable Trusts Act (Cap 67). This Act is the basis of this paper. The key provisions of the Act are discussed in this paper. Recently serious questions have been raised on the status of charitable bodies with the de-registration of one of the registered charities (the Citizens' Constitutional Forum (CCF)) for political activity. This paper also provides an insight into the CCF 'saga', which goes to the 'heart' of the Act and examines the serious questions that are raised in interpreting the provisions in the Act. In the concluding part, various issues of reform in the charity sphere are also proposed.

The demographic structure of the Crown Colony of Fiji is undergoing a fundamental change which seems likely to present GB with an unusual variety of racial problems. The change involves both the Indians & the Fijians, & is of an econ nature. The first, & most immediate problem is that of land distribution. Indians, who comprise more than 49% of the pop, hold only 1.7% of the land. A further problem arises in the fact that the Indians want changes in Fiji, perhaps in the pol'al sphere, & definitely in the land system. The Fijians, however, fear competition with the increasing Indian pop, & would like to see this menace somehow lessened. The situation is, then, that one race (Fijians) is being artificially protected from being swamped by an immigrant race (Indians) that has nowhere else to go, & claims to have built up the country's orosnerity.
