The Tuvalu National Human Rights Action Plan is a Pacific first and consolidates Tuvalu's human rights commitments and ensures a systematic and coordinated approach to the delivery of the government's human rights commitment, as well as to strengthen the government's realisation of human rights in Tuvalu.
It captures Tuvalu's existing commitments under human rights treaties to which it is a state party-- the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC); the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and; the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) as well as Tuvalu’s commitments under the Universal periodic Review (UPR), the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Te Kakeega III-2016-2020 (TK III), Tuvalu’s National Development Plan.
