A vulnerability that is so many times magnified for low lying small island States like Kiribati.

Concerning the Security Council, Kiribati supports the expansion of the permanent and non permanent Council memberships to better reflect the realities of our world today.

This also enabled Kiribati to become the first country to see the dawn of the third millennium, an event of significance for tourism.

Kiribati, the Federated States of Micronesia, Swaziland and the United Arab Emirates have ratified the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (180 ratifications).
